Douglas

Douglas [#D5705] is a Metropolitan Vickers Diesel Electric Type 2 or a BR Class 28 who was bought to work on the Bletsoe Branch Line in 1959.

Bio
He arrived in 1959 along with Claire and. The three diesels backed down into the main line sheds at London and Mr. Bosely told them their jobs. As soon as the controller left, #D821 began his rudeness. Both Douglas and Claire tried to shut him up but to no avail. The day after, Douglas and Phillip heard about #D821's accident. "Serves him right!" Douglas said.

One day in 1965, Douglas was pulling a goods train into Thurleigh and The Controller was waiting for him. Then, he told him that his twin brother, BoCo, has headed off to the North West Region so he'll be safe from scrap and he can visit him anytime he wants. Douglas smiled grandly. The next day, The Controller arranged for the diesel to head off into the North West Region. So Douglas left for Barrow-in-Furness. There, he surprised his twin and they spent the day talking about what they've been up to. But soon, BoCo had to leave and so did Douglas. Douglas left first. Douglas thought it was the best day he'd ever had.

In 1994, him and the other engines were gathered at the London sheds. The Controller told them that British Rail was starting the process of Privatization. Douglas asked what was privatization and The Controller told them that their railway was going back into an independent railway.

Persona
Douglas is a kind and friendly diesel. He strives to maintain his spotless record in his work. He visits his brother, BoCo, frequently on the North West Region but not all the time.
