despite my total lack of interest in "train spotting" I might just have to wander along to the station to see that in the morning. An absolutely awesome bit of engineering!

Love Deltics, they just ooze power..

And did you know that the Deltic engine was also used in Royal navy minesweepers for main propulsion?
