1961 British Rail Class 55 'Deltic' Diesel Locomotive.

When new, it was the most powerful single-unit diesel locomotive in the world, and it is still one of the most distinctive and charismatic ones ever.

In 1955, English Electric linked two 18-cylinder Deltic engines, each rated at 1230kw, or 1650hp, with mechanically driven blowers (or supercharger) and charge coolers (intercoolers), powering an EE generator, to create a prototype 3300hp express diesel locomotive, known simply as Deltic. It looked like no other British diesel, in a striking pale blue livery with cream lining and broad chevrons on the nose.

Unlike American diesel locomotives, the layout was symmetrical, with driving cabs at both ends, a practice that is almost universal in Europe. The defining feature was the size – 70 feet long, and 13 feet high –the maximum that could be accommodated on Britain’s rails, riding on twin three axle bogies (trucks), with all axles powered by electric motors – a wheel arrangement known as Co-Co in Europe.

But despite the great size and massive power, the weight was just 106 tons – compared to the 133 tons of EE’s other express offering, the 2000hp Class 40 which had no more power than a steam Pacific. And, against the 2000hp of Class 40, Deltic offered 3,300hp from its two 18-cylinder engines – with a massive boost in acceleration and the ability to sustain high speed.

Thank you for reading, as I learn more about the history of the British Railway, I will add to my channel alongside the day-to-day content.
