Class 55 Deltic 55019 Mega Thrash and Clag Keighley 21st May 2011

This is the 1st of a few vids that I filmed at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway 2011 Diesel Gala on 21/05/11. (also managed to take over 100 still pics! I will add a few to my flikr in the next few days) Deltic 55019 Royal Highland Fusilier departing from Keighley with the 12.50 to Oxenhope. Turn up the volume and listen to deltic 19 roar up the bank out of Keighley! ( Sorry about the background noise at the start of the clip - it is a couple of fork lift trucks at the builders merchants next to the track!) Thanks for watching - Simon Filmed with canon legria camcorder.

@stuvids thanks Stu, just looked at your pics of the kettles on the S & C on Saturday - really good pics and location. I have uploaded a few pics from the KWVR diesel gala onto my flikr. Simon

@mrgmyers

I think it is a slang term for the surging sound of a diesel engine throttling back and forth in low revs. But I am not entirely sure though...

WTF is Clag?1

[willygrant1971]

I think all the class 55s had two engines, two exhausts, this seems to only be running on one ?

Lovely thrash there

Awesome Napier Hellfire :D

[MrKEITHYDEE]

Didn't they exhaust from both sides? that's how I remember them hammering along the ECML.

Cheers Phil.
