Diesel prototype 1 deltic nearly went to Canada they were meant to take the loco there to do further trials but they decided against it thanks to a leakage in one of the engines
If only these times could exist again and live these years again Sadly we can't, but thankfully we have these "snapshots" to act as a window on history
No Finsbury park 'Racehorse' Deltics - I liked the white cab frames they gave them.
6:48 that loco 55011 was 6 miles short of mallards record it achieved 120mph down stoke bank in 1962 during its trials
And as for 55008 and 55021 both of the cabs of the locos have also survived but on display just like the prototype deltic
as of today 6 deltics plus the prototype are still here as of today

The Deltic is the ENGLISH LION isn´t it...
at the moment deltic 15 16 and 22 are due to be back after their overhauls
deltic 2 19 16 9 and 22 are still active on the mainline like they did in the 1970s
Doncaster is where all the deltics were built in 1961
