The Biggest NVR Event Of The Year! Nene Valley Railway Locomotive Legends Weekend. Pt 1

Join the NVR for a full weekend of celebrations!   D9009 will be appearing as 55013 BLACK WATCH Named at Doncaster Works on July 21st 1961 before introduction to traffic, D9009 maintained the ‘racehorse’ tradition of the LNER by commemorating the winner of the 1949 Ascot Gold Cup. Based at Finsbury Park in North London, Alycidon was one of eight ‘racehorse’ Deltics stabled there. In May 1981, she moved to York after the closure of Finsbury Park and was one of four Deltics prepared to work a series of farewell rail-tours during their final six months of operation. Her final outing in BR service was on January 2nd 1982 as standby locomotive for the ‘Deltic Scotsman Farewell’. Whilst at the NVR D9009 will be appearing as 55013 BLACK WATCH.
