Deltic 55022 Royal Scots Grey stops briefly at Gargrave 31/05/10

At 9.15 am the Deltic Retro Scot 2 slowly pulls into Gargrave station and comes to a brief halt before powering off again . Engine problems ?
Expecting the mighty beast to simply whizz past , we get an unexpected second bite of the cherry !
The last Deltic i've seen on this line was 55019 pulling a rake of Pullman coaches in 2000/2001 - well worth the wait ! 12 coaches and a 57 on the back

@porter6669196327 Thanks ! Yes , great to hear those Napiers again !

Superb shots there, and so lucky to have it slow down then open up. As for 3 napiers yep it would sound nice however i'm not so sure the traction motors would hold it though. You can melt em with just 2 !

Excellent video Monks ! Very surprised that it stopped, especially for such a short time. I wish I was there, especially in such nice weather...
