Education &
Provision of Speakers
The primary aim of the charity is to educate the public in all aspects of Deltic locomotives.
Visits
To this aim, the DPS is only too pleased to be able to show visitors around the Deltic depot at Barrow Hill Roundhouse Museum when the whole site is open to the public. The depot is usually open at weekends, and visitors can wander round to see the locomotives and displays, as well as sit in the restored cab of 55008 The Green Howards. We have our very own Finsbury Park Deltic depot!
If you have a party, then we will be pleased to make arrangements to show you round and provide you with an informative and interesting commentary.
​
For a party visit, please contact Mike Hallam-Rudd, Email: miketulyar@hotmail.com
The Society’s Barrow Hill depot where all three of the DPS Deltics are housed when not visiting heritage railways or on main line charter work.
