Hi guys,
Today at 1pm, 55022 arrived at Castlecroft shed from Barrow Hill, after it's 3 year overhaul by owner Martin Walker and the DPS (Deltic Preservation Society). They have done an awsome job, and Martin's massive ammount of effort and time has payed off - the loco is amazing!
I managed to get a cabride on it from Heywood (Green Lane crossing) to Castlecroft with Martin and Dave, as Tim and I went up to meet 55022 at the stop board where NR meets the ELR.
I took a few pictures, but Rory Lushman (a fellow Diesel Dept worker) took some better ones.

Here is one of the cab:

Ski jump, with me in the 2nd man seat, and Martin Walker doing heads out at the rear of the loco!

Cheers,
BTW: I can now say that I was the 4th person from the whole of the ELR to be on 55022!
