Lineside footage of me driving Deltic 55009(running as 55013 'The Black Watch' on a Deltic Driver Experience at the Nene Valley Railway filmed at Wansford by my Dad. It was a perfect warm and sunny late afternoon for this treat to myself, and in the next part you can enjoy a full driver's eye view from the cab on my return journey from Peterborough to Wansford.
Filmed on 9th May 2024.

looks so good! can't wait to go. hopefully taking my great grandad as its his favourite train

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

It's as good as it looks. If you can do it then I'd certainly recommend it, and even better if you take your Great Grandad.

A fantastic treat Darren, I’m very jealous 😮 What a perfect day weather wise too, well done, I’m sure you’re still smiling 👍

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

Thanks very much. Yes, still smiling and looking back on it, and what a perfect day all round as you say.

I have driven that loco. some years back at NVR with passengers. Awesome beast! I see MH-R is looking quite senior now. I first encountered Mike at Bedford Depot open day in about 1980 when he allowed me into the cab of 55015 'Tulyar' when he started her up.

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

Certainly is quite a beast! Even light engine and at the heritage railway 25mph maximum you get a feel of the power - must be awesome at 100mph on the mainline! Looking forward to 'Tulyar' coming back this year.

NICE ONE. I have travelled in a steam loco full length on Mid Hants railway and in the diesel cab on Lamport Railway but never had the urge to drive. Well done you. I look forward to part two.

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

Thanks Keith. Yep, I've done the NLR cab view too(in a Class 47), but this was my first time driving a diesel loco - and I'm hoping not the last. Part 2 coming up this afternoon!

I drove 19 with a full rake of coaches & observation car on the Great Central 3 years ago---Brilliant, wheel slip & everything !

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

Now that's even better! I've definitely got the bug for driving locos now, and doing the Great Central Railway is certainly one for the future - and if 55015 has a spell there I'd have to do that!

@jamesneale4640 4 месяца назад

Absolutely brilliant!! What an experience. I hope you had a great time. It's still the greatest diesel engine of all time, in my opinion.

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

I had an amazing experience, a great time indeed. Obviously Deltics are my favourite loco, so I'll totally agree with you.

@markjones5819 4 месяца назад

That looks amazing Darren.

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

It certainly was. You should treat yourself to doing when when you've retired ;-)

@Desiro360 4 месяца назад

Awesome. I hope you enjoyed every second of it. 😀

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

I absolutely did! Thanks.

@Desiro360 4 месяца назад

@MrDeltic15 Glad to hear that you did. You're welcome. 😀

Fantastic! 😍😍

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

Thank you. It certainly was!

@johnmiles9148 4 месяца назад

You lucky fella. Not jealous in the slightest !

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

Sometimes you just need to live for the day and treat yourself - I'd recommend it.

@davebellamy1076 4 месяца назад

Terrific mate, one to remember for ever, happy days!

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

Thanks Dave. One off the bucket list for sure, but I have the feeling more might be on the cards...........

@HSTPaul 4 месяца назад

Great video. I've always wanted to do one of these driver experiences. But the price kind of puts me off. Although I don't doubt it's worth it.

@MrDeltic15 2 месяца назад

Thanks very much. I'd been thinking about it for a while and thought it was about time I did it myself - I'm sure I will again too!

@HSTPaul Месяц назад

@@MrDeltic15 You're welcome. And yeah I don't blame you. I've been thinking about it again myself recently.

Excellent. Big thrill for sure and Excellent way of funding preservation. I well remember my 1st ever drive, non other than 40122 in July 79. They paid me. 😊 Only up the sidings in Preston as secondman. Start of 42yr as driver.

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

Wow, that's some career! You must have seen quite a few changes over the years. Certainly is a great way to fund preservation.

@zedcharlie 4 месяца назад

Oh yes. Loved it. Drove everything from 08 to pendolino. 25 31 37 40 45 47 67 hst dmu old and new. 81.2.3.5.6.7 and 90.s

@barrymorris7856 4 месяца назад

Well done.

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

Thank you.

@MarkGFRex 4 месяца назад

Brilliant experience. Just a shame you don't pull coaches with the family in tow like on the SVR. Still fantastic though

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

It certainly was. Would be nice with coaches too, and I did look at the SVR one a while back, but it's a bit further for my parents to travel to and film.

@edbridges1164 4 месяца назад

Shame it wasn't 55015 "TULYAR" still it's a beautiful and very powerful "East Coast Racehorse"

@MrDeltic15 4 месяца назад

'Tulyar' should be back this year, and I'll certainly be going for a ride behind her soon as I can - and if they do driver experience runs at some point I'll be up for that!
