Re: Trainspotting
The Peak class was a heavy engine so to spread the weight it had an extra set of unpowered smaller wheels front and back otherwise it would have exceeded the weight limit on some routes and wouldn't have been able to operate there.The Deltic was lighter and didn't need the extra un-driven sets of wheels, even though it was more powerful.
Anyway, they are all superb pics.

Talking of which, I have often wondered why the contents of that extension were not incorporated into the midsection of the locomotive, even though that may have entailed a slight increase in length. That would have given the driver a better view to the front.
