History
The prototype English Electric 3,000hp diesel electric, ‘Deltic’ emerged from Dick, Kerr & Co. Works in Preston in 1955, as a demonstrator. Fitted with two Napier Deltic engines, it appeared in a head-turning powder blue livery with cream nose whiskers below an American-style headlight cowling. Such was the locomotive’s success, British Railways ordered 22 production models for use on its East Coast Main Line express services.
