garrat: Not sure what your Deltic con rod would be worth. There were I think 57 Napier Deltic power units originally and of course one of the big features of Deltic operation was the repair by replacement policy of power units so that any one engine might have served time in many members of the class. Doncaster Works became very proficient over the years at craning engines out and replacing with a repaired/reconditioned unit. With only 22 members of the class this policy helped reduce time out of traffic. The same with bogie changes which could be done in a couple of hours.
