    Obviously not "Puzzled of the Three Guineas Public House, Reading"
    (think Obi-Wan in an anorak...)

    Also diesel-electrics, if not literally deltics.

    There are huge numbers of diesel-electrics, the Deltic was a particular type
    fitted with the Napier deltic 18-cylinder two-stroke diesel engine (3 banks
    of 6 cylinders opposed in 3 cylinders per bank, arranged as an equilateral
    triangle). I know more about that than I ever wanted to because we have one
    on our model railway, and because we heard a recording of one of them in
    action - a truly amazing sound!

    The prototype Deltic is in York railway musem. It's the blue one with the
    American-style stripes and big single headlight.

    The Deltic was a big Co-Co, not a big no-no, surely? ;-)

    My grandfather worked on the railways and when I was 14 years old he took me
    to Haymarket depot and one of his friends was moving a Deltic between sheds.
    I was allowed on and got to drive it for about 50 yards. That was fun.
