Throw in a Class 23 for good measure.
opps forgot that one. If you included electrics I guess you could have all the AC Loco Groups fleet, the NRMs 71 and 84 and maybe the D16/1 if it’s finished

Are there any other sole remaining examples of class? Few of the shunters? Class 12 ?Maybe the replica Ivatt 10002 as well..?
Re celebrity diesels - I’d say D1015 Western Champion would fit the bill as well and I don’t think that’s been mentioned yet.

That power car is not going to be operational unless there is a massive change in the Science Museum's policy.Suppose you could also chuck in the prototype HST. It would be quite the gala
Indeed I was just maybe talking hypothetically - not sure we’ll ever see the 41/71/40/31/52 from the NRM outside of York but it’s nice to dream.That power car is not going to be operational unless there is a massive change in the Science Museum's policy.
I’m sure people have commented in past that’s it’s not quite as simple as removing one cab and welding them together. Would love to see one put cab to cab as they were built tho.Somebody could create 13004 for the occasion.
Seeing as 10000 and 10001 have been mentioned I will propose that by far the most famous Diesel engine (but obviously not the most popular) would be the Diesel in Rev W Awdry's "Duck and tne Diesel Engine!"
When 821 was in Green it was rather popular with its ‘Boco Metrovick Class’ plates! I recall a rather senior member of the DTG driving it at the time being questioned on ‘why this isn’t the real Boco’ by a younger member of the public one Thomas weekend!I reckon the Cobo would be pretty popular at Thomas events too!

That might only work on the Island of Sodor and Their attitude to the ORRJust weld an extra axle on one of the bogies. It’ll be fine.

You were right the first time. If BR had sacrificed a Deltic in that manner, enthusiasts would still be salty about it today!46009 if you're over 50; Blown up dramatically as the BBC News main story to show us diesel was safe to haul Nukes.
edit it was a Deltic
About 10 years ago I was stood at Salford Crescent station at around 7am and what should come through but 55 022 light engine.55022 RSG stands out if it was to get out and about.
Was that Rail Rider?Going back a few years, surely 47406 was quite the celebrity?
It was indeed. I have a model of it in intercity executive livery!Was that Rail Rider?
Didn't Chris Rea do a song about Deltics ? That's fairly pop culture !

May I enquire as to why?47216/299 - maybe celebrity is pushing it a bit, but somewhat notorious......

56040 and 9005045015?
Was cut up very sharpish at Doncaster, but I believe was offered to the NRM beforehand.I'm surprised no one has mentioned D326 as an infamous celebrity diesel?
It had another accident didn't it?There’s a bit about it here Rob:

Aye, believe it was cut up as quickly as it was so that any prospective souvenir hunters would be deterred.Was cut up very sharpish at Doncaster, but I believe was offered to the NRM beforehand.
