199

Number: D199 Builder: Derby Works Class: BR Class 46 "Peak" Configuration: 1Co-Co1 Arrived on Sodor: 1967

D199, nicknamed "Old Reliable" and "Spamcan", is a rude Diesel engine.

Bio

D199 was built in the early 1960s and came on trial to Sodor in 1967 with another Diesel engine, 7101. D199 soon made himself an enemy of the steam engines when he claimed that "steam engines spoil our image", and was swiftly quieted by 7101 and Duck.

The next day, 199 ironically failed and had to be helped home by Henry. He was soon sent home in disgrace.

Persona

D199 was pompous and rude, and sided with the general belief amongst Diesels that steam engines are inferior to Diesel power.

Basis

D199 is based on a BR Class 46 "Peak" 1Co-Co1.

Livery

D199 is painted in the British Railway's "Rail Blue" livery with yellow warning panels.
