The Deltic innards

G'day,
I am hoping that somebody has been inside the engineroom of a Deltic.
Watching some vintage video featuring such, I noticed a pair of drive shafts up near the ceiling above the donks.
One drive shaft above the other.
Each was spinning in the opposite direction.
I can only presume something to do with the turbo of each exhaust stack.
DID the Deltic possess turbos ?
DID the Deltic have a single governor to control each donk ?
I cannot envisage such drive shafts being utilized for other purposes like radiator fan rotation.
Steve.
