What a Sound

British Railways 'Deltic' Class 55 Co-Co no.55 019 ‘Royal Highland Fusilier’ roars away from Quorn & Woodhouse Station with the first train in memory of the Deltic Scotsman Farewell Railtour. The 11:15 up Loughborough-Leicester North-Loughborough train is complete with the headboards and the wreath, as per the original tour.

I well remember these magnificent machines, with their twin Napier Deltic engines sounding fantastic as they roared through Doncaster middle road in the mid sixties.
