Class 55 "Deltic" locomotive, Royal Highland Fusilier, on show at the Grantham Festival of Speed. Royal Highland Fusilier (55 019) was withdrawn from service at the end of 1981; purchased by the Deltic Preservation Society, it is one of six of the Deltics which have been preserved and are still running today. The tower of nearby St John's Church (Image]) can be seen behind, and to the right of, the locomotive.
