Bear

Bear (originally known by his number, Diesel 7101) is a mixed traffic diesel engine who works on the Main Line. His name comes from the growling noises his engine makes, which make him sound like a bear.

Trivia

 * The rear cab of Bear's Hornby model and ERTL toy have a headcode reading "AC 47".
 * The ERTL and Hornby ranges depict Bear in his BR blue livery and name him "D7101 Diesel".
 * On the Tidmouth Grand Tour, Bear is depicted with a grey face rather than his yellow one, most likely to match the other engines.
