"what about 75 ? I've heard that this could have been for 26000 Tommy or a super-electro diesel not built ?"

The Southern Region under its original plans for the Bournemouth electrification scheme wanted build a new 3000hp/600hp electro-diesel, but as the scheme was refined so they came round to the idea of converting 71s to become Class 74 electro-diesels.
