Diesel 199

"Spamcan" and "Old Reliable", is a diesel engine who once visited the North Western Railway on trial and on loan from British Railways,later he came back to the North Western Railway cuz his railway was close,.

Bio
Diesel 199 was pompous, rude and sided with the general belief amongst diesels that steam engines are subpar to diesel power. He is blatantly arrogant and enjoys bad-mouthing the steam engines. However, he earned the nickname "Spamcan" by a signalman after he failed to pull a train of fuel and oil tankers, and he subsided when the signalman jokingly threatened to cut him up with a tin opener.

Basis
Diesel 199 is based on a British Rail (BR) Class 46 "Peak" 1Co-Co1 diesel-electric engine. The Class 46s never made it up to D199. They were numbered between D138 to D193. Fifty-six of them were built from 1961 to 1963, with three of them preserved by heritage railways, such as the Midland Railway - Butterly, while one (46009) was destroyed in a crash test in 1984.
