The Deltic Preservation Society 40th Anniversary event at the Bluebell Railway - all Deltic operations for 3 days. It is strange to realise that the Deltics were just over 20 years in daily service, and now more than 35 years in preservation - which can be challenging, as 55022's current repair illustrates, as does a pending engine repair for 55002.
55009 is due to run to Swanage on 21st October.
A full set including steam locomotives and 32424 the Brighton Atlantic is posted on OneDrive.
Further coverage from other photographers.
