Hornby Dublo: BR, English Electric DP1,
Co-Co, DP1 'Deltic' - Era 4. The word 'Deltic' will likely mean
different things to different people and indeed it should as the
word does mean a great many things. The Deltic was, initially, a
valveless diesel engine designed to be fitted into some of the Royal
Navy's smaller ships, such as the 'Dark' class of 1954.
These
engines, or a version of them would also find themselves fitted to a
test bed for a new class of British diesel engine in 1955,
christened as DP1 but nicknamed 'DELTIC' after the engine. This
nickname may have been enforced on the public by the designers of
the locomotive, who has 'DELTIC' painted on the side of the model in
the same cream as the lining nameplate style.
