Mammoth - 1670
Titan - 1665
Cyclops - 1673
Colossus - 1672
City of Truro - 1660

You are correct with all 5 names - I have put the loco number next to each name

 

[EbbwJunction1]

You are correct with Sir Daniel Gooch (1663) & George Jackson Churchyard (1664) but not Great Western

Thanks; I thought that I was struggling with "Great Western", so that's not a surprise. Let's try "C B Collet" "Isambard Kingdom Brunel" and "Caerphilly Castle".

 

[LSWR Cavalier]

Goliath?
Sisyphos?
Churchward?

Dam - I am too late to the thread. Remember them all. Have a photo of them all. Saw them all as D1660 onwards then again with the 47 numbering scheme. I once saw 7 of them on Westbury on an NCTS - Northern Counties Transport Society trip.

So close and yet so far away - Good luck with the next question

 

[Pit_buzzer]

One from the 60s,No peeking in the combined,
name the d600s in order

 

[GRALISTAIR]

Almost certain they were all named after Royal Navy Warships. Ark Royal was one but I don’t think it was D600. So I will guess at D601.

 

[Pit_buzzer]

Good start, and the only one I saw in real life

 

[martinsh]

"Active" was one, and since they were in alphabetical order, I guess that must have been D600

 

[Pit_buzzer]

Yep, the alphabetical order's how I remember them, and the d800s (with a few exceptions)

 

[LSWR Cavalier]

Bulwark?

 

[Pit_buzzer]

First three letters are correct, then you go astray

 

[LSWR Cavalier]

Bulstrode, Bullion, Bullivant?

Bully might have been a suitable name for a warship

 

[Pit_buzzer]

Wrong but Its given me an idea for a whole class named after historical bullies

 

[xotGD]

Bullsh.. - Probably not!

 

[Pit_buzzer]

Getting closer though, first 4 letters correct

 

[LSWR Cavalier]

Bulldog!?

 

[Pit_buzzer]

Correct
