The Deltic Roar | Great Central Railway - 'Deltic Scotsman Farewell' 40th Anniversary 02/01/2022

- On the 2nd of January 1982, a special railtour was held on the East Coast Mainline to commemorate the withdrawal of the Class 55 'Deltic' locomotives from mainline service. The service, titled the 'Deltic Scotsman Farewell' featured both 55015 "Tulyar" and 55022 "Royal Scots Grey" as star traction, and brought an end to the class' 20 year reign on the ECML.
Over the following 40 years, the Deltic Preservation Society has been a driving force behind the continued survival of members of the class. The DPS own and maintain no fewer than three complete Class 55's, among other artefacts and power units.
To celebrate the occassion, as well as the ongoing acheivements of the DPS, a ceremonious running day was held at the Great Central Railway with DPS stalwart, 55019. 55019, although not one of the locos used on the original railtour, was the last 'Deltic' to haul a service train under BR, when it worked an Aberdeen to York service on the 31st of December 1981.
55019 would make three return trips over the GCR from Loughborough to Leicester North, with a supporting service provided by a resident DMU. For the first return trip, engine No1 was used. On the second, engine No2. For the final return, both engines were fired up, producing the full bodied Napier Deltic roar that is synonymous with these locomotives. 55019 carried a wreath on the day, in memory of Roger Newling-Goode. Roger had been heavily involved with the DPS for the majority of its current 45 year tenure. He sadly passed away in late 2021, for which we offer our condolences.
Locomotives:
BR Class 55 'Deltic' - 55019 "Royal Highland Fusilier"
BR Class 101 DMU - E50266+W59506+M50203
All footage filmed on Sunday the 2nd of January 2022.
Simply superb filming. Really well thought through shots, fantastic variety of points of view. Brilliantly edited. This did the Deltic the justice it always deserves. Well done!
Wow, my 70s student days, right there!
Thanks for sharing the day for those who couldn't be there. Great film work as always. Cheers, Brian
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the video
Excellent captures and a fitting memorial to these iconic machines.
It’s a shame that a 75mph Loughborough to Rothley and return trip minus passengers wasn’t scheduled in.
I suppose we should be thankful that this happened at all. Appreciate your efforts in bringing us this.
Thanks very much!
Now that would've been a sight to see, but as you say, we're lucky to have had the day as it was. Twin engine on load 8 was a great spectacle.
The sound these locos .are coming down the rev bands I just love em
These monsters don't scream at you , THEY BLOODY well SHOUT at you that they are HERE . Awesome loco's
A great video you have filmed with your quality filming, and it was good to meet you on Sunday. Regards Mike.
Thanks very much, Mike! Was great meeting you that day
Hi , nice to see there still running and all the other older engines .
It sure is, the DPS have done a fantastic job with '19.
bloody hell! Never seen such a long train on the GCR!
It always amazes me when you hear the clicks from an SLR came that is rapid firing, I can understand can't they do that in sport, all shots are different and you have the ability to get that perfect shot , but when taken photos of trains where the shots are one after another you just get a lot of the same shot where the train has only moved a minimal distance.
Regardless, a great video of what I consider was the finest of first general diesels.
The twin throbbing deep throated Napiers sounded fantastic
I like your comment Steven.
Super filming again they are running alycidon at the spring diesel gala which wil be nice one of the three guest locos they are also running a 37 from I think swanage railway the last guest loco is yet to be confirmed
Thank you
Would suggest it can't be a 37 from Swanage - they don't have one. 6700 from the NRM is going there on loan though, I believe.
@@TheSouthernerYTChannel ah ok thanks for the correction hopefully it will be a good gala as I’m hoping to go
That thing is a beast. The sound
Sure is! Was great to hear it working well
Excellent footage, subscribed.
Thank you
Really gutted I couldn't make it, looks like it was a really enjoyable day!
Without wishing to add salt to the wound, it was a fantastic day! Still, the East Coast weekend awaits you.
excellent shots 👍that's what we needed in Kent🤔
Thanks very much
Nice video
Thank you
The next Deltic GCR are going to have is Alycidon
Correct. Tempting to visit.
@@TheSouthernerYTChannel yep I can’t wait to ride behind it!
Royal Highland Fusilier is heading to Ecclesbourne Valley Railway next, and Alycidon will be heading to Severn Valley after it’s visit to the Great Central.
I'm thinking she needs a good run on the mainline to clear out all that clag, not doing her a lot of good pottering about like that - not that I'm saying I didn't enjoy that alien Deltic sound😊 Thanks Matt👍🏻👍🏻
Fingers crossed, if the mainline appeal the DPS are running for her gains the financial traction it needs, that sight might become a reality. Glad you enjoyed it!
Why don't they have both engines running 🤔
In full mainline spec, a Deltic is a 3,300hp, 100mph machine. On a preserved line running at 25mph, running on one engine at 1,650hp is more than enough. The use of both engines here, was purely for the spectacle.
@@TheSouthernerYTChannel I was lucky to work on deltics when I was a driver's assistant.
Main line or not, it makes no difference. Napier deltic engines always clag. It's what they do! If you look on the DPS site or others it explains why.
Hi. I loved those shots of the Deltic. The sound was incredible. I’m doing a model rail video on the Deltic soon and was looking for some clips of it to use in with my video. If I credited you with these clips would I be able to use some of them in my video? Check my channel out and I’d appreciate it if you could get back to me. Cheers. Dave
Hi there,
Glad you enjoyed the video, and I appreciate you asking (had circumstances before with video pinched without permission). Would you mind sending a message to my page over on Facebook (facebook.com/TheSouthernerYT), please? It's how I process all 3rd party use of video. Cheers
Well filmed, I was on it.
Thank you
It all came together very nicely for the last shot didn't it. 🌈 🌄 🚄 💨
With a moderate rain shower less than two minutes before that shot, it was almost mythical how that came together
Klasse video :)
Cheers
Man and I thought the old EMD’s weren’t good for the environment
I know arm flailing on diesel tours is traditional but can someone from back in the day when it began explain why it started to be done in the first place? (I'm not commenting on safety)
Great video but there is always one that has to do a funny hand signal out of the window - what is that all about?
Thanks for the video. Seems like a great day. I remember the scenes at King X on that fateful day. Seems like yesterday! Good to see No 19 still in action as she was my last Deltic!. One of my favourites on UA-cam of preserved main line action is this one. ua-cam.com/video/uDm8oG1yB4Y/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MrKnowwun Thanks again.
Will they be preserved and running or withdrawn from any kind of service completely to be static preservations?
They were withdrawn 40 years ago. This event was to commemorate the anniversary.
@@TheSouthernerYTChannel that makes me look stupid....... thanks for correcting me ha ha
Not a problem
farewell? wheres it going?
This was an event commemorating the 40th anniversary of the 'Deltic Scotsman Farewell' Railtour.
@@TheSouthernerYTChannel cheers for the reply.
No worries
