Super Deltic 1: Another one I've wanted to do for ages - the Super Deltic. No1. This image is based on the official EE drawings published in Brian Webb's book: 4600hp, Class 50-style body, etc. The only compromise is the fuel tanks which are straight off a production 55.

These would have realy been something special.Imagine the sound of one of these on full bore. Magnificent.

Slightly over-weight mid-life look (just like so many of us Brits born in the Fifties!)

Haedes Pyros.
Did the original drawings not have a front panel integrated indicator board like a deeuff?
Dreadful if you could put a gargoyle "0"s horn box or a 60s horns on a smooth head.
