The nameplate of D9016 "GORDON HIGHLANDER" whilst stopped at Grantham with the 1E12 13:55 Leeds - King's Cross on Saturday 14th August 1965. The legend on the boiler water in-take reads: "Not to be Opened Use the Connector Below". As other Deltics continued to use the antiquated system for some considerable time afterwards it is thought this was an experimental 'fit' for D9016 only. Note: this was in the days before battery box vents were fitted.
