NOOOOO! That's another EECo loco - the Type 3 / Class 37

Deltic

Tractor

Nose ends not dissimilar and they share the same bogies but the Deltic is 3300bhp via 2 complex 18 cylinder engines and the 37 is 1750bhp via 1 conventional 8 cylinder engine.

Oh sorry. Yall have so many similar units, but I guess it's like showing a non American a dash 9 and AC44CW together haha.
I see the main spotting feature looks like the 3rd window, and are all units that tall over there?

The third window is a dead giveaway but the 37 also looks very similar to the 2000bhp EECo type 4 / Class 40 (which has more wheels and is much longer)

I think it's an optical illusion about the height - your trains are all much, much taller than ours because of our restricytive loading gauge.
