I love these old grunters, I miss the old days when cars were actually nice and comfy, with cabins and ash trays and real light bulbs. And them trains ran thru ice and snow no matter what! Sometimes the doors were frozen and needed some persuasion, so be it. Only in summertime it wasn´t so nice because opening the windows would only do so much but at least they were to open! Todays ac´s are nice- when they work and it isn´t too hot for them. Then they go "No, thanks" and we are left to rot in them ovens. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, wish Y´all the best
Fantastic! I got to see this as i passed through York en-route to Newcastle from Kings cross 24th November 23. It was like rewinding the clock back to 1981 great times spent in my youth.
The noise from the Deltic is truly unique. In my 60's I have travelled thousands of miles behind these iconic locomotives, and loved every one of them. I even did the 'Night Aberdonian' back in the day with Deltic haulage from EDB to KGX. Great video.
Was a long time Deltic fan, travelled over a quarter of a million miles behind them up to & including the Deltic Scotsman Farewell of 2/1/82. The sound is unique & unforgettable, watching this was emotionally overwhelming
Just got home from this tour and feel so lucky to have these memories. Engines on display through the windows at night - doesn’t get much better for me. They must have been so proud, and so am I!
i love how old engines bring alot of attention cause they had more style back then in my opinion same with steam engines they where way better than the modern trains of today
Can't beat a proper train loco and coaches none of this bimode multiple car nonsense. You just can't beat all the vast variety of diesel design in this era. Still remember getting the train to Bournemouth and getting out to watch them hook up a diesel engine to pull the rest of the journey as we reached the end of electrification at the time
hello train video 2023 fun fact I was watching this same video that came out on the 26 of November 2023 and I was watching this video live on York railcam and I did see my favourite class 66 numbered class 66413 and I do like the horn on class 66413 when she tooted her horn at 9:51
reminded me .met dad aged young8/9 ish(a guard king x)arrived on his train cadged a lift to Finsbury pk yard on a backwards King George 5,he clocked out and got a lift back on a Deltic ,
hello train video 2023 fun fact I was at Skipton train station back in January 2019 and an a class 66 with hopper wagons came through Skipton train station and it was very cold at Skipton train station back in January 2019
hello Train video 2023 dr's class 37s have been withdrawn from service and I like the drs class 37s Iike my favourite class 37 which is drs class 37422
Been on all the deltics in the driving cabs and worked with them all in my job. Moving at speed not just watching and yes I have never felt a power push when both engines are running could not use them on freight as to powerful.
Yes it was but very noisy I spent 25 years as a freight guard so I would act as the second man and was there to couple up or uncouple the train from the engine. I was based at Holbeck in Leeds so all the different locomotives would come on for fuel and service.
The noise of solo RSG departing north with vigour (before returning to connect with it's coaches) takes me back to Sunday evenings in the 1970's when I'd regularly catch a Deltic hauled service to Newcastle......before locals living near the track complained and drivers were told to depart with a light throttle! Did these people have no soul?
I used to work as a locomotive engineer (driver) for the Soo Line/Canadian Pacific in the Chicago area (now retired). For a while I took trains from our Bensenville, IL yard to another railroad's yard on Chicago's south side. Most of the time we'd be held out by a stop signal on the Grand Trunk Railroad (Canadian National) to await our turn to enter the yard we were destined for. This would be in a nice neighborhood with pleasant homes. Once while stopped in the wee hours of the morning a woman from across the street from where our stopped train's locomotives were idling came out up to our train and asked if we could move our train a little further down the tracks as it was causing her home to vibrate. We took her up on her request and moved the whole works up the tracks. After that experience we always stopped our train a little further from her home and she became known to us railroaders as "the woman with the vibrating house."
@@robertp.wainman4094 I do indeed miss running a locomotive, the people I worked with and the money I made (still have a good pension). I don't miss the 12-hour days, working nights, the constant removal of yard jobs you could hold, getting "bumped" by someone with higher seniority (for better days off ... yes, I did the same) and the long drive to work (24 miles) especially in bad winter conditions.
That's nothing. I was on Kings Cross Station back in 1981 and they started up a Deltic on the stabling point. It took over 30 minutes to fire up an engine and by that time the whole of the station / tunnels and running lines were totally obliterated by thick white diesel fumes.
I think with the heritage diesels/steam locos they are cleaned by hand whereas with freight locos such as a class 66 they have automatic washers! Thanks for the comment!
The grin on the Class 40 driver’s face when he pulled away light. 😁
That class 40 pulling off was the equivalent of a chav doing a burnout to impress his friends. Love it 😂
There is no other sound on Earth like the Deltic. Unique, distinctive, pure music to the ears....
The delic is a beautiful machine in my opinion the best looking locomotive ever built
I agree, thanks for the comment!
Napier Deltic sounds not from this world. Just incredible.
I agree! 👌
That was nice of the 40 driver to showcase how fast a light engine diesel can take off for the fans!
Yes the driver did the same, with the same class 40 at Carlisle in my last video!
Thats how whistlers used to be driven, a very distant memory now. Superb.

Absolutely beautiful locomotives, lovely.

Two of my favorite classes. Magic.

Hauled by a Deltic in the 60's and 70's - was always a highlight of a rail journey........nothing compares nowadays!
Was a long time Deltic fan, travelled over a quarter of a million miles behind them up to & including the Deltic Scotsman Farewell of 2/1/82. The sound is unique & unforgettable, watching this was emotionally overwhelming

It was a fantastic day!! Thanks for the comment!!
Yes - the warm light illuminating the Napiers was really beautiful!
I think "Deltic Point" would be a good name for the new Network Rail building in York, as it references the York triangle & former railway works.

Quite a sound My wife and I lived very close to the King’s Cross -Aberdeen line and one day a Deltic passed by with quite a roar .
Must have been great, thanks for the comment! 👍
Deltic was gleaming, engine room spotless 😊
Still recall 9011 leaving york northbound on new yrs day 1968. Two tone green. Wish i had the film!
I remember trainspotting at Peterborough and watching Deltics leave. The noise would vibrate in you chest. Good times.
Yes they make an amazing sound!
Beautiful trains, that Deltic sounds mean, love it. We love our trains here in Clemson SC, Go Tigers!
what a beast
I agree!
a stunning machine
excellent
Thanks!

A magnificent machine, beautifully filmed despite the crowds on the platform. Thank you.
Thanks! It was surprisingly quiet until the 40 arrived!
Both the Deltic and the Class 40 looked magnificent.
Nothing wrong with crowds on the platform. What’s wrong with it? Nothing. Nobody’s interested in a moaner.
@@TRAlNVlDEOSnothing like EE thrash!!! Flail
"crowds on the platform"?; there was hardly anyone there, just a few country-bumpkins train-spotting.
just got up to get ready for work. great watch while having breakfast amazing footage
Thanks!!
I cant believe the MK5 sets + 68's are finishing!!!
Watched all of this on railcam. Great video.
Yes i was looking at railcam chat for info on where the deltic was at! Its very helpful, Thanks for the comment!
reminded me .met dad aged young8/9 ish(a guard king x)arrived on his train cadged a lift to Finsbury pk yard on a backwards King George 5,he clocked out and got a lift back on a Deltic ,
Wow that sounds amazing! Thanks for the comment!
Only ever seen one Deltic at Carlisle. Great to see a Deltic at York and never tire of that drone noise. 👍👍
Wish I could see one at Carlisle, I missed all 3 trips Deltics made through Carlisle this year sadly! Thanks for the comment!
Jeremy Hoskins needs an award for keeping the 1st generation alive. The guys a legend 🙌
Yes! I am so glad to see them! Thanks for the comment!!
@@TRAlNVlDEOS I remember the 40s bombing through Nuneaton on ballest and welded rail trains. U could hear them for miles before they passed.
Seen her fly past retford had power on sounded brilliant 😀😀😀
I bet it did!! Deltics are great!! Thanks for the comment!
Railway royalty! Great video…. 👏😜👏
Both glorious, magnificent locos!!
Excellent video. Thanks for uploading.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
hello Train video 2023 I like the horn on class 66413 at 9:51
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
hello Train video 2023 I like the idle on class 66413 because that is my favourite class 66
That’s amazing! 👍
hello train video 2023 fun fact I was at Skipton train station back in January 2019 and an a class 66 with hopper wagons came through Skipton train station and it was very cold at Skipton train station back in January 2019
Very interesting!
14:08 Godly two tone
Yea it was fantastic!!
Now thats a first, a deltic cold startup.
Great recording !
Thank you!!
Oh hey I'm going to York later today, nice vid btw
Thank you!

Nice bit of clag from D9000, must get to Scarborough on a Nova 3 before they disappear.

That’s the most bizarrely slow and difficult deltic engine start I’ve seen in 42 years.
I have only seen 1 Deltic start before this, so I wouldn’t know too well! Thanks for the comment!!
I was thinking the same thing ! RSG looks mint though.

Well, the passengers on that tour got more than they bargained for. Not only a Deltic and an A4, but a 40 as well! 👨✈️
Yes! Would be amazing to have been on the tour! Thanks for the comment!!
Stick that soot to ULEZ.
Yeah 😂
I really hope we don't see a class 68 on the gwr sleeper it really whont look right in gwr green
1:51 that took a long time to start up for d9000
Yes it did, thanks for the comment!
@@TRAlNVlDEOSanytime mate anytime
Excellent video. So that's a Deltic waking up from a deep sleep then? She must have been a bit cold. How long had she been resting?
She bad been resting since Thursday so around 3 days and it had been very cold over them days
Great Video.. Question do we think this engine would be euro 6 and will it have to pay the London clean air zone cost? 🤣😂😚
😂
Random question, where do trains get cleaned, do they have a automated train wash ?
I think with the heritage diesels/steam locos they are cleaned by hand whereas with freight locos such as a class 66 they have automatic washers! Thanks for the comment!
hello Train video 2023 where was class 66413 my favourite class 66 going to when it leave york at 9:51?
Hi, 66413 was heading from to Leeds after it left York. 👍
I'm sure the starter on the Deltic sounds like the Class 37 (same builder at same time)...
I’m pretty sure they use the main generator to start the engines as opposed to a starter.
😅
Oh that engine sound. Almost orgasmic!
hello Train video 2023 what livery was class 66413 in?
Hi 66413 was in Frieghtliners newer orange livery, however it also has some small Tarmac and Fox group branding, thanks for watching!
Why label D9000 as 55022? I know that’s its TOPS number but that’s not what it is carrying.
I just know it more as 55022 and some people also find it interesting to see the other numbers for the locos, thanks for the comment!
It was going to Potters Bar not LONDON KINGS X
Why did I see photos of it at London King’s Cross last night then?
what 55023 leaves for london you mean 55022
Yes, I know 😂 it’s just a typo! Thanks for the comment!
@@TRAlNVlDEOSyou did it again!
That could happen one day. The same thing happened with Tornado
Francis
Bunch of helmets standing stupidly close to the edge of platform when the 40 arrives and departs. Gives us all a bad name. Apart from that great video
Thanks!
Wow! So just because a diesel starts up an engine doesn’t mean it’s gonna take off!
A thug in charge of thugs this will not end well for Khan
🤨?
erroneous u keep refrfing to the loco via its T.O.P.S number when clearly it runs in the early era livery as D 9000
And of course the same with the ` Big D `
It is still 55022 though you could call it either
Disgusting pollution. Needs a good decarbonisation system
Yikes 😮
