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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese engines, or a version of them, were 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 had 'DELTIC' painted on the side of the model in the same cream as the lining nameplate style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDP1 was built by Dick, Kerr and Co. in Preston, and was outshopped in 1955 in a unique colour scheme of baby blue and cream. The was not initially a stylistic decision, with the cream paint lines on the side being applied over aluminium strengthening beams to break up what would otherwise be a very tall, straight slab-sided locomotive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDP1 was in service with BR in its original colour scheme and condition until November 1960, when an enormous oil leak was discovered on one of the engines, something that could lead to terminal engine failure if not addressed. The locomotive was sent back to English Electrics works, however work on the locomotive was not given the go ahead, with the DP1 being officially withdrawn from BR's locomotive roster in 1961.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe locomotive was stored for a few years before being donated to the science museum in 1963. It has never run in preservation, largely because it has been inside on static display in various museums. And also because engine components were removed after the failure, with the engines fitted to the resulting Class 55 'Deltics' being sufficiently different enough to prevent the pool of BR spares being used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2023, the Hornby Dublo Deltic model fills a hole in Hornby history, with the DP1 Deltic featuring on the cover of the 2nd edition catalogue in 1960, but never actually being made in physical form, unlike the Class 55 Deltic, which did receive a Hornby Dublo incarnation. This model is fitted with a die-cast body, 21 pin DCC decoder powering onboard sound, a 5 pole motor with dual flywheels and dual bogie drive. This is a Hornby Dublo model not to be missed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDCC Fitted Deltic Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh detail OO gauge model based on extensive research and original works drawings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-installed with a 21-pin HM7000 decoder, with meticulously crafted Deltic sound profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs-built livery c.1955 with cream lining around roof, red chassis and buffer accents with black steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy, fully die-cast chassis and body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed cab interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorated driver controls with illuminated instrument dials \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional head and tail lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking Mars lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking cab lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine bay lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic roof cover to access 21-pin DCC socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual working roof fans, with manually adjustable speed controls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparately fitted etched window frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge, powerful coreless motor with two flywheels for smooth running\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual bogie drive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSprung metal buffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront and rear NEM coupling pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional lamps supplied in the accessory bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-painted driver figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied with six finely decorated etchings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecorated engine bay featuring printed ‘Napier Deltic’ plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-fitted with sugar cube and EM1-type bass speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpace inside fuel tank for a stay-alive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlange squeal sensor mounted in the bogies automatically detects when it is going round a curve to play flange squeal sounds dependant on speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1x Model Diesel Locomotive, 1x Accessory Pack (includes etched nameplates, lamps and lamp brackets, buffer beam detailing and imitation couplings), 1x Instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Length - Without Packaging (cm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e29\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Height - Without Packaging (cm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e5\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Width - Without Packaging (cm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e3.5\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Weight - Without Packaging (kg)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e0.8\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eItem Scale\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1:76 Scale 00 Gauge\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDCC Status\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHM7000 Fitted - With Sound\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eOperator\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eBritish Railway\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDesigner\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eEnglish Electric\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWheel Configuration\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eCo-Co\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eMinimum Curve (mm)\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eRadius 2\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eNumber of Parts\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e1\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eClass\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eDP1\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eBuffer Type\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eSprung Metal Buffers\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCoupling Type\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eNEM Tension Lock\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cdl\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHornby Decoder Compatibility Primary\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHM7000-21TXS: Bluetooth® \u0026amp; DCC Sound Decoder (21-pin)\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003cdl\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/dl\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51996592767261,"sku":"HOR R30297TXS","price":874.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0059\/3212\/2200\/files\/HOR_20R30297TXS.jpg?v=1783566056","url":"https:\/\/ironhorsehobbies.co.nz\/products\/hornby-dublo-r30297txs-oo-br-english-electric-dp1-co-co-dp1-deltic-era-4-txs-sound-fitted","provider":"Ironhorse Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
