@nostalgia wow you really are very knowledgeable Clive

@nostalgia possibly right there, Clive. Diesels sometimes have D numbers, for example the Class 40 Andania currently carries number D213 🙂

@RailAdvent And them dark green warship sorts with a rounded bullish nose i would call the 800! They had three numbers, I would have to have time off to learn their train heating boilers, I like them! A real grunt inside their soundproof doors when opened up! They would have deadmans and good viewing of the road, The 800 was so different from the little 63 or 22 type i went to Plymouth Laira to collect! It came back over Dartmoor like a kangeroo, But that was my mates fault! So different to steam. Hope you well Michael!
