by my calculations, and they could be wrong, you'd need 79 more discarded diesel train cars to complete a pyramid (the current top row is short one car)

Well, I did do the math in my head, which is notoriously unreliable...

Okay, so I used pencil and paper and still came up with 79, so now I will resort to the calculator...

And I still get 79. Either I'm using the wrong value of "y", or your calculator is broken.

Ooooooo so close.

Story states they are stacked diesel engines...not cars... but please accept the box that Carol Merril is standing next to, or take the envelope...or curtain number 3

Wait, what story? The headline states "diesel trains", it says nothing of what unit of the train those are. They look like cars to me, however, isn't the engine of a train, also a car? I know very little about trains (they run on tracks, and um... ) but wouldn't each unit of train be a car, regardless of it's function?

from the story picture caption...Vic Berry's infamous stack of type 2 diesel locomotives, 3 October 1987.

You can apply car to a lot of different rolling stock... coal car...tank car..passenger car... but for pulling or pushing the cars its always Engine or switcher short for switching engine...

no prob...

Its a shame that millions of Thomas the Tank Engine sets got recalled for lead paint... damn Chinese and Koreans...

Open the link and page up to get a picture, or look below at a picture of the original at York station.

The locations (eg Gateshead) in the link refer to where they were allocated at the time of withdrawal.
