Cabride on Deltic D9000 centre road Doncaster

[garyfromuk]

Dreadful!

[SteffanLlwyd]

A reminder of the awesome responsibility on drivers' shoulders.

[CREPELLO12]

brilliant piece of footage.brings back my memories of my cab ride in 55004 from york to grantham in july 1980.

[kharkhov]

Ha. I bet the driver of the unit at 2:12 was jealous lol. Wish I'd been on the train, or at least the platform to give a resounding, dare i say it, "My Lords"!

[Bulletguy07]

Pointless four minute video spent staring through one window at rail track and overhead cable......why? What about the INSIDE of the cab?

[CRISIS550166]

Why do you thank yourself in the end credits?

[60103Henry]

Great Video, 5 Stars! Check out my driver’s eye view of the Bekonscot Model Railway!

[baldbloke]

Shame about those bloody overhead cable gantries spoiling the view...

[oktobercat]

This takes me back 2 1968 wnen i was a boy , i played in a field close 2 lines 2 blackburn/ roe lee, these metal thunder dragons captivated our imaginations, and shook every bone in our bodies if we leaned over the fences, the later trains were tame in comparison 2 these diesel dinosaurs, they had character and smell.!

[ScottieD53]

This video brings back happy memories of the days I drove these beasts on the ECML thanks for posting

[paulbadger1]

brilliant - is this royal scots grey ?

[bgrey62253]

@paulbadger1

Yes it is

[vorlonb3]

You know its a fascinating video this, funny thing is when 22 approaches Doncaster, the compressor fires up, and it feels like 22 has a proud roar passing the plant, sort of like Look at me STILL GOIN!

[easygoinguklad]

This is absolutly amazing. Thank you for posting. I was in Grantham yesterday when a deltic went through at speed. It was fantastic.

I though that engines like this were firmly in the history books never to be played with again. I would love to know how many Deltics are in use today (May 2010)

Regards

@easygoinguklad 6 were preserved. have a look on wikipedia.

[24nov67]

listen to those babies growl at 1:41 3300hp of pure orgasmic napier deltic delight.

[SupersonicAK47]

great locomotive, great video, great stuff

[pompeyman444]

awesome !!

[pookleburger]

Top notch. What I would give to ride like this on a wave of pure napier power. Awesome!

[EWS60500]

great vid, trains all sound different from the cab

[TheRailFan]

[CREPELLO12]

brings back memories of my cab ride in 55004 york to grantham in 1980. great video, top marks.

[heartbeat1965]

Fantastic please add more!!

[estoyaqui85]

ouch! electric wires!

[Moodster020]

I don't know what the drivers are winging on about. Look at steam locos, even worse for visibility. And then there's American locos with their centre cabs

[BulletNoseBetty]

American locos with centre cabs? Where have you been lately? Modern North American locos have end cabs.

[Woolybak8]

Dont get me wrong I love the Deltic but the cab seems to be quite difficult to drive the train from, cant really see and it is incredibly small considering it being a very large loco. 5*

[LMSStanier]

Yes it is a high cab but we may not have had the driver's eye view as the camera may have been positioned lower than normal eye view.

[Woolybak8]

Still be quite difficult. I like both, but the HSTs could be quite easier to drive.

[LMSStanier]

True.

[47822]

also u can wind the seat up so u can see out of the window easily

[LMSStanier]

Cracking stuff!! 5*. Favourited and shared.

[favelly3]

thats mint i wish i had a cab ride

[TrainoholicLeverage]

Thank you!!!

[Andyhinds]

Great stuff,it reminds me of when i secondmanned it on 22nd Feb 1997 King's Cross to Norwich,never did get to drive it,has anyone any footage from that trip??Also has anyone got footage of the 25th Sept 1999 'Last Chance' railtour,I'd love to see footage of 37109 on the stops at King's Cross on full power in neutral,I was the driver on it for the Donny KX bit,sorry it went a bit tits up but I got it sorted with some help eventually.

[billybeak]

The Bollox!!

[pattonrail]

Great video,nice to see the veiw from inside the cab of a great deltic,also going through doncaster what a bonus.5*

[ay76]

Great stuff!!This stretch of line runs past where I use to live(around 2:04 mark on the Video)on the right about 1/4 mile from the ECML.You could always hear when one of these Deltic's was coming.Thanks for sharing this great video.Happy days!!

[Toyboy789]

Great footage! Love the cab bells (indicating the clear road ahead). Also seems like a relatively quiet cab too!

[poyks]

That's the AWS bell. They were actually very noisy, but the sound was pure music!!

[olympian2174]

brilliant, Ive always wondered what the view was like from the front of a Deltic!!

[cutterschoicenotmine]

restricted to say the least!

[hoppersvideos]
