Bio in the Woodhead line series
Dominic was built at Swindon in 1964 and worked at Newport scrapyard (Cashmores) for many years before being reallocated to NCB Ashington. Dominic was brought in on loan from NCB Ashington to replace Daniel who had returned to BR after his loan expired. It quickly became apparent that Dominic was suffering from a split personality disorder and was often seen arguing with his alter ego. It came to light that the years of depressing, mundane work in abhorrent conditions had profoundly damaged him psychologically, and so claimed he developed his split personality to keep himself company. Mr Salmon quickly sets to rectify this by having him repaired at the lines own workshops, thus curing him. In time he established himself as a very good pilot, on par with Daniel.
