There are 2 class 44 - Great gable and Penyghent 11 class 45 and 3 class 46 Pete Waterman's is D172 or 46045 (Depends how old you are) and carries the name Ixion from its time in Departmental service (Not sure how that translates - non-revenue earning stock used for internal testing/engineering purposes) I know Ixion comes from the Greek but I'm not sure of the eact derivation. She is fully main line registered as is 45112. My current favourite loco on the main line is 40145 - it took 18 years to get her running again and every tour is superb. She dates from 1961 and sounds absolutely awesome. 40's were also 1Co-Co1 locos but a mere 2000HP and used an English electric engine. Interesting to hear that US locos didn't carry names - a shame in my opinion although I notice that they always have the definite article - 'the 261', the 1234 and so on whereas we would say 261 or 1234. Most of ours are she even if they have a male name. Two countries divided by a common language?
