NRM Diesel Depot..

There is a fine selection of early diesels on display too. 


The original class 20... or English Electric Type 1 as it was when first introduced. I had a Hornby Dublo model of this back in 1957 - the first mainline diesel loco produced by them. 

A Western Hydraulic, a Deltic and a class 40 stand in the corner of the Great Hall. 

The Deltic proudly carries this "Flying Scotsman" thistle headboard.

The loco stands next to the new signalling centre.
