The time and type I'm referring to is an earlier period of diesel running 50's to 70's and main line types such as type 37/40/45 etc which, especially those on freight duties never carried name boards in the manner of the type 55's and judging by some of the names on that list it confirms to my mind at least that the names used are of a more informal personal type than the formal naming conventions given to steam traction and the deltics which is what I was alluding to in the first instance.
I mean for gods sake who the hell names a shunter Fred!!? (laughs)
