Looking superb and sounding pretty good
despite being reduced to just one engine, Deltic D9000 'Royal Scots Grey' races
towards
Askham Tunnel with a 1Z55 1315 London King's Cross to Edinburgh charter train.
The loco had lost an engine due to a coolant issue,
and was at times receiving assistance from 90001 on the rear. The sun hung on
just long enough to light most of the train, and a video
I filmed here shows the light completely collapsing as the 90 passes by the
camera. I will consider myself lucky on this occasion.
