Why is it bad? Wikipedia has confirmed that Nimbus does actually exist! As for all those photo's of deltic noses....they could belong to any deltic. |

Rassy,Why would anybody save Nimbus or for that matter St Paddy,both had be out of service since 1978 and had been used for spare parts,if anybody wanted to save a Deltic without anybody else knowing I'am sure there were much better locos than those two.
Please let us know when you find Nimbus,not that I want to see it,I want to search the field next door for that other missing 80s racehorse- Shergar!!!! Cheers John |

I reckon Rassy is trying a "wind up" on here. Rather than using wikipedia which anyone can alter for their own purposes, try looking on the Deltic Preservation Society website, the full list of surviving machines and their whereabouts is on there, the three they own and two cabs, and under FAQ, the other three.
Unconvinced, 62440. |

I have had a reply from the MOD regarding the Deltic at Ashchurch.
Quote "" Thank you for your correspondence received via the Ministry of Defence website enquiring about whether an ex British Railway class 55 (Deltic class) main line diesel locomotive is stored at Ashchurch awaiting restoration and preservation. I have been asked to reply as Defence Equipment and Support is responsible for the Defence Storage and Distribution Agency at Ashchurch. I can confirm that the site at Ashchurch is not storing/restoring a Class 55 locomotive. Yours sincerely"" Unquote
