No Finsbury park 'Racehorse' Deltics - I liked the white cab frames they gave them.

And as for 55008 and 55021 both of the cabs of the locos have also survived but on display just like the prototype deltic

Diesel prototype 1 deltic nearly went to Canada they were meant to take the loco there to do further trials but they decided against it thanks to a leakage in one of the engines
