Pre-Owned DP1 Deltic Prototype East Coast Mainline Diesel Locomotive - DCC Sound
Pre-Owned Item, in Excellent Condition.
Accessory Pack Included.
One of our most popular releases, and the locomotive that started it all for Locomotion Models, the OO Gauge DP1 is back and better than ever courtesy of Bachmann Europe. This latest run of DP1 models is available in both DCC Ready and DCC Sound Fitted running states. We have also covered two liveries, both how DP1 is currently preserved at Locomotion, and how it ran on the east coast mainline, giving something for every modeller.
Model Features:
- 21 Pin Decoder socket (or DCC Fitted in Sound Fitted models).
- Detail pack including Sand Pipes, Vacuum Brake Pipes, Steam Heat Pipes, and detailed coupling components.
- Smooth running down to and including Second Radius curves.
- Accurate prototypical liveries.
- ESU LOKSOUND V5 fitted to all Sound Fitted models.
In the mid 1950's, the British Railway's boards modernisation plan called for a change away from steam to other forms of traction. As a result of this, English Electric decided to build an export demonstrator, which entered trials in 1955 on the London Midland Region. The locomotive incorporated two Napier Deltic type navel diesel engines, lending the type its name. These generated 3,300 break-horsepower which gave an initial speed of 90mph, although this later increased to 105mph. The 'Deltic' initially ran on trials across the LMR hauling London-Liverpool trains before moving on to the Settle-Carlisle route for further evaluation. BR then decided to trial the locomotive on the Eastern Region, where its performance impressed the ER board, leading them to place an order for 22 production locomotives.
Sadly, after covering over 450,000 miles, 'Deltic' suffered a fatal blow in 1961 with engine failure leading to its withdrawal from service. In 1963 it was decided to restore the locomotive without its power units and present it to the Science Museum in London. It now forms part of the wider Science Museum/Railway Museum Groups collection, and is proudly on display in MAIN HALL, at Locomotion in Shildon.
