Deltic 55009 adds to the Carlisle Variety!
55009 Alycidon, plus classes 56, 57, 66, 68, 70.
27 & 29 March 23
Over these two days I recorded DRS 68027 twice with the afternoon engineer's train to crewe. On the first day it was hauling a DRS Class 66 dead at the head of a train of track and spent ballast. On the second day it took a SB Rail Kirow 250 crane.
Class 70s, as usual, hauled both the Logs and the Land Recovery trains on both days.
A light class 56 passed through, en route to Leeds Balm Road.
But the highlight was surely the arrival of Deltic 55009 Alycidon on a test run from Carnforth, and return. Unfortunately the presence of a TPE 397 in Platform 1 blocked a good view of the departure but the arrival is stately. The train was tailed by a West Coast class 57.

Great video as always Les, it was lovely seeing the deltic out and about, could tell she’d been working hard with all that oil down the side (normal for deltics it’s the lubricating oil), the twin napiers sounded so good that even the camera struggled to pick it up well!

Solway Steam is on my shelf where I live in Dunblane. My late mother owned 12 Eden Street Silloth. When we stayed there when I was a boy my bedroom overlooked the bowling club and the station, sidings etc. Thanks for your videos' Les.

@@LeslieGilpinRailways A few tales to tell about Silloth and the railway from when I was a boy and teenager. I'm 70 now to give context. I remember my mam would take us to Carlisle on 'Western' buses Black and White, as I called them, coaches from Victoria bus station to Glasgow. Dropped off at Citadel early doors. Probably about 05:45am and the railwaymen spotted us. I've never forgotten they invited us into the staff canteen, fed us and wouldn't let mum pay! Over the footbridge to platform 7 or 8 and first train to Silloth. I remember a DMU from which passengers and driver were separated by a glass panel. I do know the approx dates and details but a bit tired tonight. Had fun naughtily and manually shunting wagons about Carr's mill sidings. And wonderful memories of jumping off grain ships into the hold of Russian boats. Better stop now. Thanks Les.

@LeslieGilpinRailways Жыл бұрын

@@m1klgordon living at the other end of Cumbria and then being only 5 when it closed, I'd never had the opportunity to get to Silloth. And now you would struggle to spot the trackbed in most places.

Great video Les as ever loved it , i must say 68027 pulled away very gingerly out of p3 was it on thunderbird duties for some reason 🥺 the big beasty deltic sounded nice but not so happy about the oil leak down the side prob a turbo leaking ? pleasd the weather was an lmprovement for you, nice to see the sun getting through a bit . awesome vid Les thanks for sharing take care matey A T b Syd 👍

@LeslieGilpinRailways Жыл бұрын

Thanks Syd, weather still variable but that blustery wind still ruins the sound. DRS have been using 68027 for some days now up and down to Crewe. No idea why it's not back with TPE. Thunderbirds are class 57s only used as stand bys for Avanti services

@12crepello Жыл бұрын

The Napiers in the class 55's did not have turbochargers as such but had scavenge blowers driven by the engines. Oil from the exhaust ports and running down the sides of the loco is fairly normal as they are two stroke with lubricating oil being in the exhaust. This is normally burned off hence the characteristic blue smoke but some may be unburned hence the staining.

It was good to see the Deltic out after so long I hoped to get it leaving the yard but they did not hang about turning the train and it was already away when I got there.

A Deltic, a treat indeed. I prefer these older trains, 20s, 31s, 37s, and so on. Basically up to when the 92s started rolling out. I haven't been spotting since (I don't get the time), but when I do pass a rail line I'll always look! Please don't get me wrong though, I think the class 70s look badass and the Avanti are pretty cool. But I think I would give them a change of colour? The gray freight livery for the 70s, 66s and the intercity swallow colours for the Avanti? Just my thoughts, I maybe outta touch now!?...to old school?😅 It's been a while since I last went train spotting! You can tell can't ya!😂 Great video as always Mr Gilpin.🙂👍

Lovely video Les and thank you! I watch all your videos and really enjoy them, you always do a great job at the begining with great intro`s when you describe what`s to come in the video. Can I ask about the Dapol open wagon you have on the shelf, Is it a limited edition? I am really envious of this wagon, and I would like one for my loft railway. Kind Regards Kev 🤗

@LeslieGilpinRailways Жыл бұрын

Thanks! The Dapol wagon is a limited edition of one that would have been based at my local station from childhood days. Certainly my late father told me about it.- I think Crafty Hobbies at Barrow in Furness commissioned them some years ago and may have one left. C&M Models at Carlisle might have one left too.
