Two years separate these two English Electric classic locomotives. The slightly newer D9009 'Alycidon' was new in July 1961 and spent its life thrashing up and down the ECML. To the right is D213 'Andania' that was new in June 1959. This type 4 spent its working career on the London Midland Region being withdrawn in 1984 two years after the Deltic.
