Twenty two Type 5 diesel electric locomotives were supplied to British Railways in 1961-2 by English Electric for high speed London-Edinburgh services, to replace the existing pre-war steam traction on the East Coast route. Powered by Napier Deltic diesel units (from which their nickname was drawn), the Deltics were the pride of Britain's railways throughout the 1960s.
