Old Stuck-Up

## D40125

**Johnny** (also known as **Diesel 40125** and **Old Stuck-Up**) is a diesel engine who once visited the North Western Railway on loan from British Railways.

## Bio:

In 1963, Diesel 40125 was talking with Spamcan, Bowler, and Bear, interrupting BoCo's sleep. Because he agreed with Bowler that they don't need to learn as they are revolutionary, he was stared by Bear and BoCo with the others.

In 1969, he, Bowler and Spamcan found Geoffrey off the rails. He was shocked with Spamcan that Geoffrey has found one of the engines who killed one of the diesels, and was ordered to bring him to their owner.

In 1982, he visited the Island of Sodor where he insulted the steam engines and also got his nickname being called Old Stuck-Up, but later got his comeuppance by crashing into the back of the sheds and later berated by Sir Topham Hatt before leaving in disgrace.

In 1986, Old Stuck-Up was put out of service as he was withdrawn from service in 1983, but he was left in the siding outside of the sheds. It is possible that at this time he had learned his lesson from his accidents and regretted his past actions. A few days later, Spamcan came up to him with the idea to find an old engine to take his place of being scrapped, but he denied the idea as he didn't want anyone to die in his place. He explained that he was willing to get scrap, but if an opportunely to get preserve comes along he will take it. Later that night, Old Stuck-Up along with Bowler and Spamcan continued their discussion on BR talking about all the lies they were told when they were new. During the conversation, they each revealed their real names to each other; Spamcan's real name being Ted, Bowler's real name being Andy, and Old Stuck-Up's real name being Johnny. Thinking that any day they would soon be taking away for scrap, however a man who was a representative of the East Lancashire Railway asked Bowler if he'd like to be preserved on their railway, Bowler agreed to it under the condition that Spamcan and Old Stuck-Up could be preserved there too. After a few days Old Stuck-Up, Bowler, and Spamcan got preserved on the East Lancashire Railway. At Heywood Station, the three diesels were approached by Diesel 10, Splatter, Dodge, Diesel, and Dennis asking if this was a heritage railway and how they have a diesel that wants to be preserved. Old Stuck-Up was the first to notice the claw on Diesel 10's roof.

In 2012, Old Stuck-Up along with Bowler and Spamcan kicked Diesel 10, Splatter, and Dodge off of their railway and how they were tired of getting involved with his crazy plans to take over Sodor. They even called him a coward as Diesel 10 didn't have the heart to scrap a fellow diesel and threatened that if he ever came back to the East Lancashire Railway, they would send him and his henchmen to rail-gate.

## Technical Details:

### Basis:

Diesel 40125 is based on a British Rail (BR) Class 40 1Co-Co1 diesel-electric engine. Two-hundred members of this class were built from 1958 to 1962, and the last was withdrawn in 1985. They were given the nickname "Whistlers" because of the strange whistling noise their engines would make. Seven Class 40s are preserved at the National Railway Museum including D200, the first Class 40 ever built.

Diesel 782 and Class 40 are also based on BR Class 40s, hence the latter's name.
