9016,
with 37197 attached, left the LNWR depot and, after pausing for
checks on the various light clusters, the Napier engines were
opened up with a cloud of smoke/diesel vapour. I have to say
the sound of a Deltic is unfamiliar to me but it did sound rather
good and it would have been nice to ride behind it along the
coast. 21/3/2002 |
