Don't worry, easy mistake to make! My father worked on the design for these when he worked at English Electric - the internal engine pipework to be precise.

Thank you for your comment, my knowledge of diesel engines is limited, having just checked the ELR inventory and looked at some pictures I think you're right. I have since submitted a revised description so it should be corrected in due course. My apologies for the school boy error and thanks for listening & correcting me.

Are you sure that this is a Deltic? It sounds more like a Class 40 (English Electric Type 4) to me.
