Today, the Class 40 Preservation Society held their ‘Members Day’ for 2023… with CFPS own D345 and the Class Forty Appeal’s 40012 ‘Aureol’ performing in various combinations on an additional diagram. 50015 ‘Valiant’ was also in operation on the normal Diesel Service.

Not the best video. My old iPhone can’t handle the speed/low light thing but stunning parallel running this evening through Goring of 1Z42 and 1Z67 followed by a late running 1Z90. #class40 #class47

After a full restoration & repaint into BR Blue this was RSG's 1st public run back on the 1st Sept 2006 exploding with the Rail version of Drag racing. 😅🔥💨🚂 ⭐️🎅Deltic Gifts ⬇️🏞🚂 railwayartprintshop.etsy.com/uk/listing/112…

It would be a big blow for UK Tourism if this happens and a knock on effect for jobs supporting these services… bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

BREL Doncaster Works, 27th February 1982 - the final Deltic gathering and the last public appearance of most of the fleet. Some of the unlucky ones - nos. 4, 5, 10 and 11. #FiftyFivesOnFriday

"They had the noise, power, speed, everything. They were marvellous, unlike anything that had gone before or indeed since, the kind of reason why people fall in love with trains." - session drummer Ian Naisbitt recalls the Deltics, retired from British Rail 42 years ago today

OTD 42 years ago. A sad day but what a privilege it was to have been a witness to (and play a very small part in) the BR Deltic era.

I had cause to celebrate this today. The culmination of 27 years of effort by Deltic Preservation. Restoring the Voice of God to this great old machine. ‘Goliath was not a giant bullock; he was a racehorse.’

A major milestone was achieved over the weekend with the ongoing repairs to get 40 135 back in good health. The power unit has been removed ready for the next stage of having the crankshaft swapped. Thanks to the CFPS volunteers and the ELR for all the hard work.

The CFPS volunteers have been busy at the ELR today working on D345 getting the loco ready for next Saturday & the Pathfinder charter on the 19th October. CFA loco 40 012 was also run up today.

Royal Highland Fusilier… taken at Kidderminster pre-pandemic during a driver experience day… Read on the ⁦Deltic Preservation⁩ website that she’s running at the ⁦Great Central Railway⁩ on 28-Dec? Can’t find anything elsewhere.. is this happening - and is anything else running?
