    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..

    looks ok with Maroon mark 1's behind.

    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.
