Deltic Decimates the countryside. (and it turns up mob handed)

- There we were, quietly savouring the birdsong, when this filthy great brute obliterates the scene with its noise and smoke. Magnificent.
This is 0Z20 (as the headcode on the Deltic says) 0852 Alton to Castleton Hopwood Gf, diesels returning from the Gala at the MHR back to the East lancs Railway, led by BR Class 55 "Deltic" D9009 Alycidon. Missed it on the way down, was determined to catch it on the way back. Boy was it worth it.
I know what the classic Latin meaning of decimate is, the modern idiom is used in this video under artistic license . ANY COMMENTS ABOUT IT WILL BE REMOVED
Touchy!
DOYLE
"Modern idiom"? What "modern idiom"? There is one definition and one only.
I would just stick to plain English to avoid confusion.
Great, censor comments you don't like, very democratic.
The sound of the Deltic in full song takes me back to being 6 years old stood at my parents bedroom window waiting in anticipation of the Deltic pulling out of the station, could hear it three miles away. Loved watching and listening to them thundering past at 100mph. Modern trains are sterile now, all sound the same with no individuality.
@shaun truman. These days you're better off staying at home and listen to your vacuum cleaner. Same sound as all the plastic trains today.
The Deltic sounded mean just idling but on full chat..... wow! I used to lie awake in bed every week night for the express service from Doncaster to Hull to pass just after 10pm pulled by a Deltic. That sound just carried on the night air like no other.
Haha same in Swindon used to hear a Class 50 late night early morning parcels probably chugging through the countryside
The sound of the clag through the air was something to behold
Yep same here. Was like a rugby team of Brian Blessed’s slowly bumbling along past 1-2 miles away
Wow... !!! My best friend, It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks
I love all the birds singing and twittering to one another, so peaceful and idilic
All my life I,ve loved my German Trains from kid on,but I have to say this British brute looks awesome however little I know about English Trains
Wow awesome color scheme too
Don’t worry Ladies and gents this German loves your cars older that is,love you Brits as well
check it out at 93 mph ruclips.net/video/uDm8oG1yB4Y/видео.html and 100mph at night ruclips.net/video/1scc2h5PflU/видео.html, - nothing quite makes a noise like a deltic with its engine gunned,.

Love you too Man!
I think Deltics (along with Vulcan bombers and Lightning fighters) do look brutal and sinister but beautiful because of it!
@Mike Roberts.....and this Brit loves your Autobahns which are a pleasure to drive by comparison to our motorways!!
😂 These old iron horses seem to last forever. Indestructable!
Chunky beauty of unstoppable, uncompromising power, absolutely gorgeous. We won't see her like again 😣😢
Great rail therapy....I like IT!!!!....ALL THE BEST from ROMANIA!!!!
Your country built the first 30 of our class 56 locomotives in the 1970s. Greetings from England.
awesome. pieces of our railway heritage and history thank you for sharing.
I lived just behind bentley station and loved watching the diesels, how i miss it!!
Love these engines brilliant video you have done .
That's a lot of lovely hardware, right there.
Nice to hear some of coming back In service to help out.
I wasn't old enough to appreciate "Steam" I grew up with these Dirty Rotten smelly Oil Burners and I loved them, I enjoyed reading Andy Houghtons anecdote takes a man blessed with a curtain amount of knowledge, to rescue the situation with out to much fuss, you can tell a man from Wigan, But! you can't tell him much…
One of these nights
What a treat to see this procession.! Thanks for posting.
Love it!! There is no replacement for displacement!!
Started my working life at English Electric Vulcan Foundry, Newton-le-Willows, 1964 Technician Apprentice.
Rows of Deltics and one GT 3, now all gone.
first part started to drift off sound was so peacfull 😂😂 then the on coming storm great video
More power, Love the BR 5 in this from the Class 55, 33, 47, 20 and the 37 💞 Great Vid
We used to see this Deltic regularly at our depot in Wimbledon having her wheels turned, we had one of the few wheel lathes that can do it when the wheels are STILL on the loco! My old dad probably did the wiring on her along with the others! Nice catch!👍🏻
Great video. You was lucky to get them to stop there! Some lovely thash coming from Alycidon. I'd love to see that beast on the mainline. Tom.
Brilliant footage. Diesel overload for any Diesel fan. Good work. Thanks for posting ;-)

These DELTICS are great sounding machines. And I'm that the 33captain Bill was there too. Seen it a few times and I miss the 33 sounds in Portsmouth greatly. Nice little engines. Great video
the Deltic has always been my favorite train, nice video
'Alycidon' . Always gives me shivers. Respect.
Nice, no noisy clanging signals in the background too!
Nice!!! If only it was like this today. Still, these will be the good old days one day!
Iconic footage of Class 55 deltic Locomotion ❤️❤️❤️
Lucky getting that lot all at once ! great footage !
The birds are chirping so peacefully and then! The ole chugger pull's up 😂🐦🕊️🐝🚂💨
Used to watch Deltics running full tilt along the straight past Abbots Ripton. Great sight, fantastic sound!!
Superb 👍🏻
Heavy metal thunder-it's music to my ears. Great British engineering at it's best!
Judas Priest in locomotive form, yeahhh love it!
Nice sounds from the Deltic and good shot
Awesome!!! Love that sound...Greetings from Canada!
Thanks and greetings to you too. Hows that cold weather of yours?
Actually warming up again, and where I am in western Canada (British Columbia), it never really got the Polar Vortex thing.
I was in the UK for three weeks in 2011 and travelled everywhere by train, and loved it. Can't get your scenery and railway network out of my head!
I absolutely love it :) such beautiful machines, though it has to be said that little songbird sings way louder ;)
One of the most recent times anyone bothered to put the TOPS number on a train.
What a brilliant runner!!
Lovely. I saw this cavalcade pass Woking, but alas was at work so only glimpsed it out of a window.
Fabulous to see those beasts together.
A rare sight indeed ! Thumbs up
Deltic 9000s are my favorite locomotives. I'm holding an Identical model of D9002 in my hand even as I type.
Amazing video, beautiful british machinery
🎶There's a little hotel
called the Shady rest,
At the Junction. 😉
I'm in my late seventies now, but can remember when I first saw a Deltic, I was probably about 13/14 years old, I was with a few mates at Northwick Park (before the hospital was built) in Kenton, Middlesex -( but now north London) which is on the west coast main line from Euston. The line has a steady incline up from London. The usual express trains were headed by Coronations, Royal Scots or Princess class steam locos, often double headed by a black five, and usually passed us at approximately 40-50mph, working hard, belching clouds of smoke. But on one particular day, no smoke but a heavy throb of a large diesel engine from a light blue Deltic with 12 coaches at a speed we all estimated at approx. 65-70 mph. I then thought "this is going to be the end of steam" This sight made quite an impression on me, and to this day when I see a Deltic (especially in blue) on RUclips or in railway films/ Museums, my mind goes back to that sight I had nearly 60 plus years ago.
The light blue Deltic was the first prototype. It is now in the National Railway Museum.
1 word : Prfect
thank u sharing that gem
Why couldn’t I have been born 70 years earlier so I could drive these things.
grazie di cuore per questo bellissimo video con un gruppo di stupendi locomotori ELETTRO DIESEL grazie veramente per bel lavoro un caro saluto giudeppe
"
Excellent videos
Such a distinctive exhaust note
I used to dash across the Mytery (the Wavertree playing fields ) in Liverpool to the embankment to see the blue Deltic with a yellow arrow sweep by towards Lime Street Station. must have neeb about 1957 or 58.
typical.. you wait ages for a train then 5 turn up at once
and there's no seats available
I only counted two.
(Sarcasm) doesn’t come across when typed.
He’s referring to each of the locomotives in the convoy as one train. 5 locos in convoy, 5 trains at once.
ahaha, sadly there was zero trains, just locomotives
@@neildeakin4454 well there was one train and 5 locomotives
Looking at the front coming at me I realized it looks a bit like a caterpillar, or the larval stage of Mothra... anyway, I love the Deltics... genius engine.
Nice vid. I filmed her last July on her first run up the ECML after returning to the mainline again, and she sounded awesome then too.
pure joy THANKS....
great catch that is for sure loves the sounds
A Deltic on test at Vulcan foundry had the same governor/limiters fitted at both ends, not normal practice but they wanted to test her on the dynomometer...to cut a long story short all the engineers ran when they failed and she showed 3000rpm and over 7000hp causing smoke to rise from the windings.....it took one of the old hands who had taken a part time job of an evening cleaning the shop floor to take his broom to the fuel cut off valve to avert disaster. One Engineer in his haste ran through the personnel door in the hanger doors into what he thought was the night sky. It turned out the hanger door was half open and it was a black painted wall! He recovered a few months later after a long stay in Billinge Infirmary. 2-stroke diesels, perfect balance, shame the fuel consumption was so bad!
What was the fuel consumption?
They were no more fuel guzzlers than the American EMD locomotives.
Amazing story. My first two kids were born at Billinge.
It must've been bloody terrifying. No wonder the poor sod ran for his life and the old part timer casually shuts the engines off. That man had some balls. I'd have probably took off too!

Lovely video I need to see D9009
This thing was a lot louder on the platform at Medstead & Four Marks... but the 37 was getting all the attention
Great shots.
I'm a tram 🚋 and I approve this video! Ding ding!
What a catch. Well done.
My favourite diesel loco
Great video
Taken for granted as a kid, most lamented the loss of steam , me it still puts the hairs up on the back of my neck 🤪
I like the almost silent horn @ 4:46 LOL !
Great stuff
Jolly good show.
fantastic
I imagine Mirrlees Pioneer would be one of the first to have a Mirrlees Blackstone engine, made in Stamford
Awesome!!
Great video, don't know how I missed this one? Liked, faved, subbed.
Super loco !
That's the most measly horn I've ever heard.
True but their might be horn restrictions in place.
Michelle D. Deltics just have squeaky little horns.
Yup, the very same, one stop up from Alton.
Fantastic theres some proper pulling machinery there long live the deltics beats the crap they use these days !tug of war a deltic vs modern day
Dat sound! O.O
Impressive!

Nice!
This sighting is the equivalent to a jackpot!
wow you are so lucky!
nice bit of riveting there
Awesome
why do 4 people dislike this vid, its bloody awesome.....power!
Needs a tripod for the camera. Too Jerky.
Far too much extreme zoom causing motion sickness, perhaps?
There is just no other look or sound, iconic locos, I've watched this before, Great video. would there be a chance of using some of the audio to go with a model rail video I am planning please?
yeah sure, copy what you want.
@@MrKnowwun Many thanks, moist kind :)
I think these locomotives were Dr Who's arch enemy.
Now that's what I call a lash-up.
That's quite a sight.
Nice one. D9009 due at Didcot GWS over May zBank hols.
1:52 lmao it has a face like it had to leave all of it's loved ones behind forever=D
It did!
Love 55s, one of my favourite locomotives, the 37 isn't bad either,shame it wasn't runnning. The other two don't interest me that much however.
British design and built brilliant locomotives with style not like the locomotives we have now got now
At least the first engine is in tune with the colours of nature...
Doodles of the Deltics by some poor youngster would often be mistaken for those of a motor-car, given the notched ends of the locos.
Lucky sod
How dare you-you stole my future..
It's a shame there wasn't any close up high revving!
It's a good looking filthy great brute, isn't it? They used to look as much like airplanes as trains.
Nice one Jeff. Is that the South Western Alton Line? Barry
