A few of this weekends collection of diesel locos at the Great Central, with sun and blue skies it made for a good day trackside.

Very interesting collection of locomotives. They certainly don't look like ours over here.

Is the blue double-ended one a Deltic?

It most certainly is! Doesn't quite have the attraction of a Western/Warship/Hymek for me, but they are magnificent locos. And the sound!

Nice shots, but it's always surprised me how different the same tools can look. :)
