Hi to All,
My late father worked at Bristol Sidderley at Anstey near Coventry which got
taken over by Rolls Royce, That division used R.R. engines for all purposes
alternatively from planes,like Ships,Trains and many other installation, he was
in charge of Market Research at the time, and on one of his trips i was with
him going to see a British Rail with one of Rolls Royce Gas turbine engines
installed in one of their trains.
He served his apprentership with Napiers and as you can all remember the Deltic
has the diesel engine and had tried Napiers Gas Turbine from many years ago.
I had seen a couple of models over the years of the Gas turbine engine
installed in various loco's.
yours John B.
