  • yes porterbrook would have had this scrapped idiots, thank god someone saved it im sure its in the hands of beaver sports now with royal scots grey, god save beaver and martin walker , well done martin, hope the 2010 royal; scot retro railtour goes well may 31st, cmon everbody get supportin this all funds go to the upkeep of these fantastic deltic machines, ohh and porterbrook , UP YOURS

  • @wattass7 There is no way in the world Porterbrook would have scrapped this loco. Porterbrook has done more for railway preservation than you will ever know, and since this loco was painted for publicity what do you think would be the effect of letting any harm come to it?

  • You just can't beat the sound of a Deltic - amazing.

  • they should put an MTU engine in it!

  • Hellfire engine! 16 was (and still is) the loudest Deltic.

  • @ianwalmsley2 yes i think your right, it wasnt porterbrook ( my appologies ) i think it was either h n r or the ones after that , i know now after porterbrook it went to 2 more owners and there was a lot of spec that it would be scrapped if no buyer found so again thanks to beaver sports for the purchase, i love deltics we have only 6 left and would love to see them all on the mainline again, must admit though i loved this livery , thanks for putting me right

  • @dccodring21

    i agree entirely.

    modern lighting ruins a heritage loco

  • @camboy1969 DRS Have now sold it to HNRC

  • great filming and editing

  • what an embarasing sounding horn, doesn't do a loco that was once the most powerfull in the world justice.
