In my youth I worked at engineering firm located a few yards from the viaduct that carried the line mainly used by Deltics that ran into city station.
Both Royal Highland Fusilier and Royal Scots Grey were daily sights back then before being pulled from main line duties.
I always found it odd that these engines continued the steam tradition of naming locomotives and don't seem to recall say class 37 or 40s or any other main line motive power for that matter carrying such nomenclature in general service.
