    Can we have it whizzing up and down the ECML please? Much more interesting that the bland rubbish we have these days.

    Maybe we can, maybe this year (I don't know, it's wishful thinking). As I understand it, the plan is to fit 55022 with the engine from 55019, so 22 has 2 good engines (mainline:thumb:) then when the broken engine (major repairs) is finished , fit the repaired into 19 and run it in gently. So with a bit of luck we just might get a Deltic howling up the ECML. Fingers cross.

    What I've said is what I've read on the 55022 website so please accept it as that. Things might change.

    55016 as opposed to 55019 I think

    good news that 55016 has a home where it will be cared for
