    The planets finally aligned and after all the trials and tribulations of the the last 12 months Tulyar was reunited with bogies. A massive step forward in the restoration. 372916348_10161412431651971_1024065843347581136_n.jpg

    I believe a shiny glossy nose is a sign of robust health for a dog, let's hope the same applies to Deltics.

    Especially if they don't cover it in yellow paint.

    Why is it I can hear a certain member of this forum jumping up and down and shouting "LINEAR SCRAPYARD!" towards the end of that video? (I didn't realise Sherwood Forester had survived)

    I looked at the panel from 55 010 and wondered how many times I must have said "Oh no, not THAT again!" in my youth - just as my brother used to say whenever he saw 60034 Lord Faringdon in his...

    Where are you seeing this? I keep looking at the new site and whilst it's very pretty, I can't find news updates like I used to - unless its on FB of course, which I won't use.

    It is on Facebook.
    The volunteers spent 11th and 12th September, along with Merritts completing the next milestone to get Tulyar closer to the finish line.
    Tulyar has Power Units 417 and 538 fitted:

    Go to the DPS home page, click the little facebook symbol, click 'decline cookies', click the X top right corner of the facebook sign in page and all is revealed.

    Yesterday saw the start button pressed on both engines, and they span over as expected.
    Videos are on the dedicated facebook page to 55015
    Next week looks to be the time, when a big can of brake cleaner is sprayed into the air intakes, and we hold our breath.

    They'll start, I'll put a shilling wager on it. But be sparing with those aerosols, engines become 'addicted' to the stuff, and they 'knock' like hell when they fire (just give 'em a whiff). :Happy:
    Me? I'd try 'em first WITHOUT the Easy Start and if they don't eventually fire, .........give 'em a whiff.
    As an aside........... if Easy Start is not available a burning rolled up newspaper held at the air intake works well. Not a lot of people know that.;):)

    Why do Deltic engines need brake cleaner or Easy Start to start up?
    It sounds like something is wrong if they need it.

    Too many YouTube videos of people emptying cans of ether and the like into intakes making people think it's a necessity? Agree with you, they shouldn't need it.
