From many angles, the bulk and size of a Deltic is impressive and no more so than from the front. The huge nose cone of 55019 'Royal Highland Fusilier' is seen in a small yard to the eastern side of Grantham station on display as part of the Mallard 75 celebrations. It is proudly wearing a Deltic Preservation Society who own the locomotive that is, unfortunately not mainline registered at present. I am not sure as to what the large number one is applied to the marker lights panel.
