British Rail Class 52 Locomotive Magnets

GB Railfreight rebuilt Class 69 loco, 69005, rebuilt from a redundant Class 56 freight loco

English Electric built the deltic locomotives between 1961 and 1962, and this is a drawing of the prototype in distinctive blue livery. The name 'Deltic' comes from the Napier Deltic engines which unusually have three cylinders in triangular formations (as in the Greek letter 'Delta'.

In the 1980s, my Dad bought me my first proper trainset, featuring a Class 58 in Railfreight livery (that's the greylivery with the large logo and distinct red bar underneath). I still have that trainset, along many other models, including a Class 37 which caught my eye because of the noses at each end. I've drawn it here in Petroleum Sector livery which was used in the 1980s.
