When I was young these ran the GNER line, and when they entered York station they were so loud they would stir you coffee for you. Then there were the times when there was a north and south bound train in the station at the same time.....

I used to be a support worker a few years ago and used to take an autistic man to watch the trains. I'm not a train spotter by any means but the noise and vibration of that engine was unreal. I remember the look on the service users face as the platform vibrated. Even though the man I looked after was a bit concerned about the noise (we were literally stood by the side of it) he couldnt stop talking about the train for hours after. Great memories😊👍

Oh how a lifetime changes outlook and opinion. As schoolboy’s we detested them, where were our B1s, A1s, A2s, A3s and obviously A4s. Today I go “great class of locomotives, why were they ever withdrawn?” Funny what 60+ years does. Long may it run, thank you.

When I was a kid in the 60s and early 70s the ECML ran past the bottom of our garden on the stretch between Potters Bar and Hatfield. You could hear a deltic coming from miles away, I loved them!

That is the sound of the infamous deltic starting it’s engine & they have the most distinctive rumble hands down!
-
Now preserved for twice as long as she was in service, a true racehorse. The other lovely deltic noise is of course the ‘shaken bag of bolts’ as an engine is shut down.

Definitely the "Mallard" of the Diesel's ❤
-
I can remember them in Waverley Station drawing people just to listen to that wonderful sound of power, magnified beneath the station canopy!
-
No other sound like it. Awesome.
-
That's a sound from my childhood. I'm old enough to remember some of the Deltics still being in two-tone green With D prefixes to their numbers, though some were blue by then with no D's. Late 1960's.

She sounded beautiful and that blast of clag was great!

I remember standing on Grantham station next to one of these beasties back in the day. LOUD

Music 🎵🎵🎵🎶 To my ears ,Love the sound of the Napier going on for 60 years or more ❤❤
-
I'm just happy to see as much Great Central stuff as alive as possible!

Deltic Preservation Society: At first, I chuckled - now THAT's British! But on second thought, the Deltic was an engineering triumph of its day, and as such deserves preservation and being kept in operating condition.

Excellent job and awesome catch!!!. Definitely the "Mallard" of the Diesel's .

Excellent job and awesome catch!!!💯😎👍🏼

Used to watch Deltic's as a kid running on the main line though York.
-
Would have sounded even more awesome if both engines had been started 😎
