Donald and Douglas are twin engines. Other than their name plaques and their numbers, they're identical. They hate to be parted and enjoy a joke - especially when outsiders can't tell them apart. Their antics sometimes lead to trouble - but they're hard workers and particularly good at ploughing snow.
Donald and Douglas are known as The BR's Nos. 57646 (Donald) and 57647 (Douglas) and the NWR's No. 9 (Donald) and No. 10 (Douglas) - Originated from Scotland, the twins mean well but can often cause confusion. Can often bicker and argue like most twins but often work well together, Their personas can often be similar to Groundskeeper Willie from the Simpsons.
They're based on the Caledonian Railway 812 Class 0-6-0 Tender Engines of which one example (Dougal) is a survivor.
