Dennis

Dennis is a lazy diesel shunter. He has a twin named Norman.

Personality
Dennis is considered to be a very lazy diesel who tries to take advantage of others and depend on them to do his work. Dennis will often create excuses to get out of work, but usually gets caught in his lies, and always says sorry - but whether or not he means it is the question.

Basis
Dennis is based on No. 11001, a prototype Bulleid diesel built at Ashford Works, England in 1949 and scrapped in 1959. He also carries his basis' number. Norman is also a member of this class.

Trivia

 * According to a magazine article, he lives at the Vicarstown Dieselworks with Diesel 10.
 * Dennis was the only diesel introduced in the New Series.
 * Dennis & Norman are both British Rail 11001s yet only one of their class was built.
 * Dennis' controls might have been laid out as in a steam locomotive, because no-one at that time had any experience driving a diesel engine.
