Horrible music. Tulyar makes better music on her own. Glad she is coming back in green -  without the yellow warning panels I hope - just the way she was when new!

Some people dont get ironic!

That music fitted the era in br blue!

Personally , i couldnt care less about Green livery or your views on my youtube vids! Why bother! If you notice i dropped the "music" when Tulyar was actually doing any music of her own!

Sorry I didn't mean to offend, but there is a time & place for music. I get upset when TV programs put music over steam loco news, and to me the same goes for superb diesels. As for the colour, it is a matter of choice. I remember them when they were new and they suited the 2 tone green and the yellow panels then spoilt it a little. I do not remember them blue as I was out of Deltic areas then. By the way I did give it a 5star rating.

Oh, I thought you was just having a go at my video! The trouble is when you, i or anyone puts anything online wether it phot, audio or video it will always get slagged off, usually by people who cant do any better or just do "standard" stuff. All i ever do is try to do something different! By the way i agree with you on the personal prefence thing! I knew that music wouldn't sit well with everyone but i did it to please myself really! Thank  you for the rating,

well personally id love to see tulyar back like this, ( white cab surrounds , blue, yellow, ) i had the pleasure of seeing all 22 deltics thrashing the ecml on numerous occasions, but never seen any of the white cab surround ones ( racehorse deltics ) i think when they got these the hst had took over ( blah ), and they never went north further than york, could be wrong though, but never seen none in the flesh exellent vid, for some strange reason id like to see a deltic in the inter city livery

What is that HORRIBLE "music"?! Sounds like a out-take from Spinal Tap!

they let me start one of the engines when i was a kid something i will never forget the sound!!!!

I actually went out to see Tulyar in her last days on BR and photographed her at both Montrose on her last trip to Aberdeen in 1981 and at Hellifield on her last trip over the S&C in Nov 1981. I also did a couple of recordings onto cassette tape of her progress. The best of which was at Usan Signal Box south of Montrose in darkness, with her on full power up hill. Happy memories!

No, I was not having a go at your excellent video.  I just thought that the music was a bit overpowering. Why not get your own back and comment on one of mine. Do a search for "Roylambeth" on YouTube and feel free to have ago at me. It is the least I expect. Otherwise just enjoy some steam.

I agree. I love the Deltics. She looks better in blue I think, but she's coming out in green. Never mind!
