AJF3440 after faving his Deltic's he offered me a chance to request a livery challenge to him, so I requested a livery in the German Steam engine style all black with red wheels and other minor trims, he came back to me suggesting I talk to you LOL, so what do you think?

I suggest he goes for it, but it certainly ain't one I'll be doing anytime soon. That reminds me, I need to update my two tone green Deltics

Remember seeing her on tests

It would be amazing to see her move under her own power again, but it would require new engines

Unfortunately, the engine at York cannot be restored due to it being sectioned

Would it be OK for me to use this image as the basis for some "might have been" export Deltics (Canadian Pacific etc)? I will of course credit you for the main image.

Cheers! I've read that she had the massive headlight casing in the hope of trials and orders from abroad and have wondered for a long time now what she would have looked like in CP's maroon and grey livery (as well as a few others). Results to follow soon.

more reference photos went into the livery and positioning of items on this than for my entire fleet of A4 drawings. It's just so tricky to get this one to look 'right', although the production Dellies are easy to do.

I'm happier with it now than I was before. The livery looked a bit washed out so I've ever so slightly tweaked the colours
