Dapol/kitmaster prototype deltic

[The Smythe Meister]

They didn’t have the middle headlight either . Great engines though. Some of them have only just gone out of service. In fact, several were sold to preservation groups, then bought back by main line companies for further service.

Interesting. I knew the 37s did, but never realised the hoovers were fitted with them. Did you know the Deltics were originally fitted with water scoops to fill the train heating boilers on the move though . They were removed when the troughs went at the end of steam. I suppose the passengers went cold after that:sleeping2:
