OK.. Christmas is close so excuse my comment but this didn't work for me I'm afraid. Deltic's I can handle but the first vid was enough I'm afraid. I understand the team are desparate for cash but having some girlie flash her charlies is, in my book, as low as you can go.
Not seen that much cr@p since I last watched aunty beeb!

Merry Christmas

If that's the response from our Dave and with me being on a dial up.......Don't think I'll bother waiting the 20 minutes or so for it to play then!!! :k:

No offence meant Dave. I know this is an aviation sight & I did ponder for several days before posting the links. They are done tongue in cheek & certainly in the railway world they have gone down a storm. They are a reminder that D. Napier & Son did far more than just build aero engines. Indeed there are still (just) some of these "Deltic" engines in front line use today with the Navy.

Yes there is an amount of swearing, yes in the first clip there is a small amount of very minor titilation, but nothing more than you would see on TV after 9.00 pm, & to be honest I find these videos a bit more entertaining than some of cr@p that the TV channels usually serve up.

So if anyone has been offended I & Zontar offer apologies.

I watched "Zontar's night out". Twas very funny, if a little x-rated in terms of language, but I dont see any connection now with the original raison d'etre (presumably to raise money to fix the train?).

So Dave, if we produced a calendar with some naughty stewies posing with ZK you wouldnt be buying then?

Just as well "BEAtrice" (our plastic stewardess mannequin) is respledant in her BEA uniform then

You're right Toby. If you produced a calendar with topless girlies posing next to said airframe, no.. I wouldn't be buying one. OK.. I wouldn't mind a quick look but thats it!!

I've always maintained that I could fill my bar night in, night out by pulling a similar stunt but you gotta have a level you won't go and that below is my personal level

Delticbob.. No offense taken matey and having served onboard HMS Iveston where our main propulsion was from a lovely degaused Deltic (Iveston was .. note I say was.. a mine hunter hence the need for as much as possible to be non-magnetic).. I was aware of it's use outside it's more well known fitment in loco's

The marine version was cartridge start btw. I take it the loco version was a little more advanced?? :think:

The marine gearbox is replaced with a DC generator with start windings. The generator acts as the starter to bring the engine up to firing speed - if your lucky, then when the finger is removed from the strat button reverts to being a generator supplting the traction power.

Incidently Dave the Society I am in have bought the engines that were in HMS Wilton. Don't know if you know it/of it. but these [navy] engines share several key componants that are common to the Navy & Rail versions. Sorry for going into boring mode, but the owner of 55022 has just aquired a pair of engine [power units in railway speak] from a Norwegion "Nasty" Class Boat to act as spares for the rebuild to the power unit that Zontar shows in his first clip [above]

I think we will consider this closed now as the site is after all avation orientated.

No worries Bob you are in E&S

BTW those boat spares...if it rains again like it did a few weeks ago those propellers might come in handy
