The Deltic Preservation Society celebrated Railway 200 at Alstom, Derby, by being invited to provide all three of its Deltics.
President Neville Davies unveiled a commemorative plaque on the nose end of 55009 Alycidon. The plaque was based on the one unveiled by him on 55015 Tulyar when he was Divisional Maintenance Engineer, King’s Cross, to mark Tulyar’s participation in the Rocket 150 cavalcade at Rainhill in 1980.
All three DPS Deltics now display the Rail 200 plaque.
