Wonderful. Number 2 was my first for haulage, on a merrymaker from Whitby to Middlesborough and back in the summer of 1981. I started bashing just in time to have a few Deltic-filled weeks on "Northumbrian Ranger" tickets. Fantastic memories.
Superb video Allan. Great views from the platforms and on board. Nice close ups at Aberdeen. Gad to see there was plenty "refreshments" being enjoyed. Cheers, Jeff.
Thanks for watching Lesley, it was a fantastic rail tour and glad you had a great time on it, as I did. Hope it's repeated in the future. Regards - Allan.
Another excellent video. I remember travelling through to Edinburgh to see the Deltics when I was a teenager back in the sixties as they never came north of Auld Reekie until near the end of their mainline careers. Have you watched the video my friend Derek captured as it was passing through our home turf. The Deltic Aberdonian
Thanks for watching and commenting. So many memories for me too of Deltics in the 60s/70s/80s and its great to see tours like this on the routes the worked in their heyday. I will take a look at your friends video. Regards - Allan.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes we had a fizzy pop drinker with us from Scotland lol. Maybe it needs a few whiskeys in it to make it taste nice. :-) Cheers - Allan.
Superb video of a superb loco, it was a historical day in Deltic terms. Have you shared to Class 55 group on facebook? Sure it would be appreciated on there. Nice work Allan.
Thanks for viewing and commenting and it was a momentous and historic occasion for Deltic No. 2. I will have a look at the Facebook group that you mention Tony. Cheers - Allan.
Although 95% Steam man..I love hearing /seeing Deltics and of course Westerns..My shots of 60163 coming off curve at Grantham yesterday..would have been more perfect with Class 55 coming other way,..!
