10751 is the headcode worn by a diesel multiple unit who worked on British Railways.
Biography
10751 was taking a railtour train of enthusiasts to Carlisle, however, they broke down at Barrow-in-Furness. At this time, Gordon arrived with the Express. As he was the only engine available, he got to take the enthusiasts to Carlisle, with permission from the Fat Controller of course[1].
Technical Details
Basis
10751 is based on a British Rail (BR) Class 127 Bo-Bo diesel–hydraulic engine. Over thirty members of this class were built in 1959 with over six of these engines preserved by heritage railways, such as the Midland Railway - Butterley. The number 10751 is actually a headcode as opposed to their running number. The latter is unknown, but it would be in the range of 51591 to 51650.
Livery
10751 is painted in the BR Rail Blue livery with yellow warning panels on their front and back end. Their rooftop is painted dark grey. Their buffer beams are painted black with silver buffers.
