Deltics do have a big following, but they were retired over 20 years ago now - younger enthusiasts won't have seen them on the main line on regular trains (though they may have managed to get tickets for one of the railtours of recent years). Personally I like them, but I'm guessing there must be people who've never been near one and don't see the appeal. I grew up watching 1st generation DMUs on the Heart of Wales line so I'll always have a soft spot for them, though pretty much any older diesels and electrics are a good sight, the new stuff seems to have a lot less character (would rather have a Class 101 than a new 2nd generation unit any day!).
