A look in the engine room of Deltic 55022 at the East Lancs Railway as the mic is maxed out

Napier - 1, Everything else - 0

hey who nicked the boiler or should I say stones vapour generator

[BNSF5608]

Seriously probably the most efficient engine made in the world, I won't lie.

[palexandersquires]

the deltic engine is the best locomotive ever! they are a classic

[dangerousandy]

Napier Deltic engine wins on sound alone!! Besides, the class 55 is a work of art. It was the Jaguar E-Type of the railways

[gilessmokey]

@dangerousandy. my opinion is that both the e type and the deltic engines were soon worn out and smoking .

[cageordie]

@gilessmokey They ran from 1962 to 1982, they were killed by being run hard without maintenance until they failed. You are surprisingly willing to air your ignorance in public.

[gilessmokey]

@cageordie. like i say, it is generally accepted that these deltic engines were short lived and sometimes very short lived. sorry you do not like that fact, you sound like a hardened trainspotter.

[cageordie]

@gilessmokey I guess you can't add up. 20 years at 1000 miles a day with time off for good behavior and no maintenance... let's be conservative and say 4 Million miles. I appreciate Napier, I couldn't care less about trains. You sound like a jerk.

[jeffrey19621]

Very unique sound . I like it !

[wattass7]

a pure work of art, the best engine ever to go inside a loco, and the best locos in the world the deltic carried them, this country is nothing now not compared to when these were built, class vid

[formidable38]

@wattass7 LOL. No way. The Napier wernt a bad stab at it but Im afraid EMD hold that occalade, always have and probebly always will. The Napier engine was much happier and more relaible inside a boat where it was intended to be in the first place.
