Q. which Deltic was painted 'purple' & why ??????

regards dave

I should know this, but at a guess, was it the prototype for the original sales tour.
Either that or the Baby Deltic for mainline operating.
Apologies if I'm wrong, I should know this.
Regards from 5309.

I think it was D9016 'Gordon Highlander' that was given a purple livery when it was used by Porterbrook Leasing. It looked hideous!

heres a clue deltic d9016 picture at top of RailwayForum page

Yes, I'm now up to speed.
Returned to green in 2002 following Porterbrook time.
Many thanks.

Agree with the look, but there's a nice photo of 9016 in Porterbrook purple livery in this months Deltic Deadline and, dare I say, it doesn't look that bad.:):)
