Absolutely magnificent. Wonderful to see her appreciated by so many younger enthusiasts as well. The " Tail End Charlie " would have been superfluous I would hazard a guess. Many thanks for posting such a heartwarming and thrilling presentation.
Truly magnificent! As a design student at Newcastle in the 1970's I'd always try and catch the Deltic hauled 'Aberdonian' service when heading home for the weekend - and on several occasions it would the 'Royal Scots Grey'. The sight and sound of the supremely powerful throbbing Deltic entering the station was enough to send a shiver down the spine. Whilst boarding I sensed a mighty beast straining at the leash to be set free and once more devouring the miles. It's very design just exudes POWER - yet with an air of capable friendliness too - a locomotive you know will look after it's passengers as it powers down the lines....... accompanied of course by the glorious and wonderfully unique sound of it's twin Napiers. A great video - thank you!
Still a thoroughbred after all these years. The sound of this old girl still gives me goosebumps and throws me back to my childhood when the Deltics passed my house every day.
Fantastic video, loco presentation spectacular, best I have seen since I took a photo of D9000 at the head of the Queen of Scots Pullman 1S57 at Leeds Central in August 1962. Can’t beat the original livery!
As young lad(69now) had the pleasure of being shown inside the cabin many Deltics as and when they were repaired/serviced by my farther. He worked at the Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns works in Darlington in the 60’s.
Back in the 80s, on a visit to UK, I was waiting to leave Newcastle for London, and the train drew in. I knew the Deltics were soon to be withdrawn. A couple of enthusiasts had rubbing wax and paper over the loco's nameplate and were busy collecting their memento of KOYLI.
Great sound and very nippy. Brought back memories of my time on the old Travelling Post Office service. London to Newcastle and return the next evening. I always used to give the Celtic a friendly pat as I walked past. Brilliant. They don,t make them like that anymore.
Great video - the arrival in Newcastle reminds me on when we were kids in late 70's early 80's and the guy next to you at departure facetiming probably his Dad just sums up the nostalga. We were lucky to be on board - I've just uploaded some clips.
How do they maintain this and other Deltics? Accounts from their time in service remarked that the repair procedure for almost anything was to remove the engine and ship it to the Napier factory to be worked on - its operation was so different from that of a standard four-stroke diesel, and it was so hard to take apart, that only the experts back at headquarters really knew how to fix them.
Hallo, big salute from the Czechia! Celtic diesel Is most originally engine without any relatives! Originál 12 cylinder 24 piston diesel have not another locomotive, And axle systém (1C)(C1) Is So originally top. And there s power 2420kW (3300PS) was long time best! PERFECT constructors!
There are 18 cylinders and 36 pistons on a Deltic. That causes the loud, intense buzzing exhaust note it has, instead of the deep gurgle of other diesel locos.
Its current owners wol want tp recoup the 2 powerunit swaps and urgent rewire, plus the instal of full telematocs and digital instrumets tto keep it mainline certified. God knows where the NRM will magic the £50k per loco ro keep the likes pf Snotrag and koyli running. Eben the DPS are now having doubts afyer Altcidon emptied coffers and atill needs a lot if wirk. Thw sale of industrial derv is set to end soon too, and tax advantages ate now gone. I give it 10 years fpr peeserved diesela put to play and tge likes of Snotrag and other kettles will need mpdofication to run bipmass fuelz no wonder Avocet was fixed up, and is almost mainline ready
I will be be 70 years old on may the eighth and it's great to see modern day kids still enjoying the Deltics as I did that's now so long ago.
Lovely photography Thank you

I believe that only one engine was passed as fit for use, on this trip.
Thanks for your comments
The deltic was on only one engine and the tailgunner did have to assist on the steeper parts unfortunately

A fantastic sight, memories of 1962 when the Deltic pulled the Aberdonion through the night.
Still a thoroughbred after all these years. The sound of this old girl still gives me goosebumps and throws me back to my childhood when the Deltics passed my house every day.
The Deltics just look the business, especially in that livery.
From the USA, beautiful Deltic. Gives our Alco PA a run for its money in best looking diesel category.
Thanks for watching 👍
Perfection in both sound and sight 💯

I remember watching these through Thirsk station, happy days.
The sound this old gal made was incredible

Beautiful station and trains😃⤴️⤴️Excellent video😉👍️✨

Excellent video of the deltic I was also there to it was good to see classic/proper traction there at my local station
I grew up in Durham and watched them in the mid 70’s
Wow, she sounds great and looks good up and out over the Eddie bridge past a familiar place that once was, Gateshead depot.
Beautiful locomotive.
26 years ago this loco in the same livery had a engine fire at Berwick and the 37 was called in to tow that loco as far as here at Newcastle

That is one beautiful diesel
Stunning
I thought this had been cancelled. Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
One word - Awesome!

@@Baribrotzer thank you, i kike the original engines with thé know-how And technic art, was peoples Are buildt. PERFECT historky monument!
Fantastic 💪🏼🇬🇧🏆
I know they are treating her gently but she doesn’t smoke too much , I appreciate that the 47 is assisting .
It helps to keep the exhaust smoke down when only one engine is running...
Very nice 👍👍👍👍
Look at this golden eagle headboard on the front of the engine
It's a winged thistle to represent the flying scostman train which Deltics would have hauled.
Wow that's go the lot
Nice. Subscribed
Thanks 👍
Sad that it was only running on one engine
That engine is MINT !
Why was it only on 1 engine?
Because only one engine works properly at the moment.
2 mega engines
