Deltic - King of locomotives. #trains #class55 #railway #heritagerailway #fblifestyle #deltic | Adrian Watson

If you want to see three class 55 Deltic locomotives in the same place, then now is your chance at the The Deltic Preservation Society workshop at Barrow Hill Roundhouse Railway Centre. All inside now for the winter. BarrowHill is open at weekends (only) until 14th December 2025. The Deltic Preservation workshop is usually open at weekends, but it is worth checking their Facebook site before travelling, as they sometimes close if the volunteers are not available on a particular weekend. #trains

The concentration of a driver experience day on a class 55 Deltic locomotive. Pulling a passenger train on the Great Central Railway in Leicestershire. 55019 is owned by the The Deltic Preservation Society and occasionally offers the chance to experience driving it for 16 miles from Loughborough Central station to Leicester North and back. Plus, another 16 miles as the ‘second man’. A nice day out which also includes shed tour and lunch! | Adrian Watson
