It's almost as if the rear windscreen wiper is waving goodbye to you!

[ML66B]

Too much shunting pish at the start Roy but quite nice all the same!

[bilbosbigtoe]

Stunning video compilation, just wish the scenery on the Lynemouth- North Blyth line was half as beautiful....!! ;0)

[cmeonthemove]

Awesome! Just as well the driver thought to drop power on the departure to save smoking you out!

[ML66B]

@cmeonthemove

Loco slipped that's why it powered down!

[skoot2u]

[Caledonian86224]

Fabulous sound and stunning HD mate, best Deltic video I've seen for a long time. The couple cowering in the bus shelter on Coatbridge Central must've wondered what the hell was coming through!! ;-)

Superb stuff, love the clag leaving Fort Bill !

[Caledonian86224]

The Napier engines are two stroke so they create blue/grey smoke anyway as they constantly burn oil. In the case of the Deltic, after a period of idling or low speed use, oil carryover builds up in the exhausts/silencers because the pressure of the exhaust isn't enough to blow it through. Then when the engines get fully opened up it gets blown out, with the results you see here! Even by Deltic standards the amount of smoke here is exceptional!

Shame about the weather Roy. Awesome at 2.20-2-40

[BristolSpotterHD]

about time a proper loco was used for freights again :P

[RoyTheMouth]

Thanks for all the comments lads and lasses, the locations are : Fort William Alcan Works, Fort William Junction, Achallader (between Rannoch and Bridge of Orchy) , Glen Falloch (south of Crianlarich), Arrochar & Tarbet and Coatbridge Central. The 66 was 102 and it was on the Grangemouth to Dalston fuel tanks

[0055Micky]

Awesome & thanks for HD. 

[samthegreencat47]

Where was the last location,the station? What was the 66 on?
