these buses seem to have a different engine in them than the rest why  and i think 47295-47296-47297-47298-47299-47300 may have the same engine but i don't know help please |

Probably because they were Road Car vehicles and not Yorkshire Traction vehicles, the same goes for why Yorkshire Traction ordered Scania Omni Dekkas for Barnsley when for Lincoln and Skegness the norm was Volvo B7TL Vykings.
I'm sure a more 'mechanical' person could tell you why though.

I think when Tracky bought the origional Solos back in 2002 I don't think there was a Cummins engine option available.
