Barnaby and Daryl

**Barnaby and Daryl the Terrible Twins** are two of the antagonists in the Seventyverse and members of the Anti Diesel Electric League Revolution. They are also the Seventyverse versions of Bash and Dash from the original TV series.

## Backstory

After Lisa's accident with the puddle, Barnaby rudely called her a klutz and Daryl said that they should just scrap the electric engines and just have steam engines running the line. Fortunately for Lisa, William would send the two rude tank engines on their way.

When Barnaby and Daryl were withdrawn from service in favour of diesels, they were rescued by Addison Darnell.

## Relationships

### Lisa

After Lisa's mishap, Barnaby and Daryl were rude to Lisa, with Barnaby calling her a klutz and Daryl saying that all electric engines should be scrapped. Fortunately for Lisa, William would send the two engines on their way.

## Personality

Barnaby and Darryl are rude and insensitive as was shown when they mocked Lisa for her incident and telling her that electric engines should be scrapped.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Barnaby and Daryl are both based on North Eastern Railway Class H (classified as Y7's by the London and North Eastern Railway) 0-4-0 tank locomotives. 24 of these engines were built for shunting. Introduced in 1888 by Thomas W. Worsdell, six were built in 1888. Their simple, bare design easily navigated the tight curves and poor quality track which they ran on. The H proved so successful, that the NER ordered a further ten in 1891, three in 1897 and five more were ordered by the LNER in 1923.

The original work of these locos was on Tyneside, at Hull docks, and within Darlington works, but LNER no. 8088 was recorded working at Stratford works between 1943 and 1952.

Dock work was hit hard by the depression, and between 1929 and 1932 the sixteen locomotives which made up the first two batches delivered were withdrawn, nine being sold to industrial use while the remainder were scrapped. Not much information is known about Barnaby and Daryl's specific locomotive 'real life' counterparts on when they were built, withdrawn and scrapped.

At least one operated passenger trains on the North Sunderland Railway before its closure in 1951.

Two have survived to preservation:

* NER No. 1310 (Gateshead, 1891), was withdrawn in 1931 and sold to Robert Frazer & Sons, and sold on to Pelaw Main Collieries Limited in 1933. It passed to the National Coal Board in 1949, who renumbered it 63. In 1965, it was bought by the Steam Power Trust, and has been located at the Middleton Railway since 1965.
* LNER No. 985 (Darlington, 1923), was renumbered 8088 by the LNER in 1946. It passed to British Railways in 1948, who renumbered it as 68088, and transferred it to the Eastern Region departmental fleet. It was sold to the National Coal Board in November 1952 and worked at Bentick and Thurgaton Collieries until 1964 when it was purchased by the Y7 Preservation Society. This locomotive has been located at the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway since 2016.

Barnaby and Daryl's Basis
### Liveries

Barnaby and Daryl are painted amber with slate grey lining. The ADELR logo on their sidetanks with their numbers on their cab sides. They once wore NER green, LNER black and BR black.

## Differences between the TV show and the series

* In this series, Bash and Dash are renamed Barnaby and Daryl.
* In the TV show, Bash and Dash are based on the Bear Harbor's Lumber Company locomotive #1. In this series, Barnaby and Daryl are based on the NER Class H (LNER Class Y7). Their original basis goes to Maeve.
* In this series, Bash and Dash are wacky and fun-loving. In this series, Barnaby and Daryl are rude, insensitive and, if Daryl's comment is anything to go by, racist.

## Trivia

* Barnaby and Daryl's numbers are LNER No. 1302 and LNER No. 1303, respectively.
