55022 LHL O Gauge Finescale Royal Scots Grey BR Blue With Fabricated Bogies. Preservation Era

Short Descriptions

The Prototype Deltic was built by English Electric in 1955. Officially numbered DP1 it carried the word 'DELTIC' in large white letters on its powder-blue sides. Long cream stripes were painted on the sides and three curved chevrons on the noses gave it the impression of speed.

In 1961, after a successful stint on the Eastern Region, she was withdrawn after a serious powerplant failure. By that time the production Class 55 locomotives were coming into service. Plans to test it in Canada fell through and the locomotive was donated to the Science Museum, London. It is now in the National Railway Museum site 'Locomotion' in Shildon, County Durham, UK..
