I love the sound of the Deltic's. I used to live near the station at Peterborough and I could hear these pulling out of the station at full bore.

WOW that must be the greatest deltic footage I have seen in working on a deltic seen at the moment and this video is quite simply the encyclopedia I need to finish the magic I’m creating I’ll get a video up by the end of the year. Keep up the great work.

Early on I thought the 37 class was a Deltic. The Deltic is actually the diesel motor not the body style. Outstanding video SK.

The oil consumption on those Deltics must have been horrendous when they had a lot of hours on them,I’ll bet their fuel consumption wasn’t that brilliant either. To many moving parts in them but very powerful.

Exactly! To perform properly they require both power units running. But in private heritage preservation they have to be frugal with very relatively few spare parts as replacements.

Bear in mind this is an assumption, Deltics were superseded for passenger duties by the intercity 125, which is 25 mph faster than the deltic. And I don’t think they were used for freight because of the 2 engines that usually needed replacing rather than repair, so the class 37, 47 and later 56 were likely a more attractive proposal.
