They were built between 1961 and 1962 at the Vulcan foundry, Newton-Le-willows. They have never beeen used on heavy frieght trains except local freight and fast and semi fast expresses.
The deltics were replaced by the HST and now they seemed to be doom as well as more modern DMU's have taken over. How history repeats it self.
There were 22 built.
