Favorite Deltic

[Buttsy]

Mine's Ballymoss (55018) as this was only 1 of 3 I ever saw and it was on a London stopper at York in 1979 or 1980 (after the clocks had goine back). I was on a family day out in York on a Merrymaker from Oxford.

as seen before on here, guess the username says it all,
dont know for why,, Nice shortname plate, and the big blue machine looked and sounded brill. Managed to travel behind and cabbed it .
It semed to be the most elusive to me at that time, However `kopping` my 1st Deltic set, in the mid to late 60`s, I seem to rem `Alycidyon` was out of service for what seemed like years
Finally passed throu Darlo, on the tyne -tees pullman as it was then

Mines No. 7 as well, gave me some great runs on the ecml. I ended up buying one of it's cab doors from Collectors Corner when it was scrapped.

Have you still got the door?

Yes I still have it, I also got some Deltic engine parts at the same time.

I presume you haven't managed to rig it up as something like the door between your kitchen and living room?

That was mentioned, but it is a a fair bit heavier than a normal door and an awkward shape. Although my wife is also interested in railways, that may of pushed things a bit too far
