Deltics at Kings Cross - a photo on Flickriver

            Two Deltics at Kings Cross at 05.30hrs on Saturday 10 February 1979. These would appear (from my notes) to be 55021 on 1E35 (not sure what that was in 1979) and 55013 on a sleeper service from Edinburgh. The Class 47 would be 47040 on another sleeper service. The reason that I was at Kings Cross at such an unearthly hour was that I had a ticket for the "Nottinghamshire Collier" railtour which would leave from St Pancras later, at 07.30 hrs.

"The Black Watch" was built in 1961, as D9013, and was withdrawn from service in December 1981. It was scrapped at Doncaster in December 1982.

"Argyll and Sutherland Highlander" was built as D9021 in 1962 and was also withdrawn in December 1981. It was also scrapped at Doncaster, in July 1982. 

was originally D1621, built in 1964 as D1621. It was fitted with eth in 1986 and renumbered to 47642 (and named "Strathisla"). In 1994 it became 47766 and was withdrawn from service as such in March 2000. 47766 was scrapped at Toton (by HNRC) in July 2004.
