    Amazing indeed. Does anybody know if it arrived OK?..............those Deltics can get a bit carried away on the racing stretch north of York, it's their old stamping ground. :wof:

    All this talk about 6229 only looking right with its own matching stock..
    nice to have yes..
    looks ok with Maroon mark 1's behind.

    Not sure about the box on the front though :)

    Nice shots. A rake of Staniers would be nice but from those shots I'd say the MkII actually jars less than the MkI

    I need to be careful what I say, I will be in West Yorkshire next week and know how some Yorkshire men like their Deltics :)

    Call in to The West Riding at Dewsbury station, BUY THE BEER, and I'll erase your name from "the book". :nod:

    I'd love to see one of those streamlined Stanniers in steam, I never saw one in their heyday.
