Hmm may i have ur msn email add? So can chat there. 
Anyway , some Deltics had a sad end . They "died of heart failure"
. The engines suffered a catastrophic failure , which led to it
being scrapped.
I'm prefer the American steam locos , but UK ones are not bad too ,
considering most of them are high speed locos pulling sleeper or
express coaches. I like American Steam locos , and old &
running strong UK diesel locos.
