Yes this is an interesting one. According to Rail magazine, DRS is planning to use it for freight workings. My colleagues who have driven Deltics tell me that they aren't particularly suited to this.

So if it does happen, I think we should give a prize to the first person to snap a photo of the Deltic heading a RHTT. That would be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut !
