At the back of my head, I have a vague recollection of a locomotive being locally named for the original opening of the SVRSevern Valley Railway. However, on reading around, I can find no reference to this, and can find no evidence of the West Midlands Railway naming its engines. Am I thinking of some other railway's opening ceremony? --Danny252 (talk) 14:56, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Were the three Pecketts at Ironbridge actually named "Ironbridge", or were they simply referred to as "Ironbridge No. 1" to identify which power station the loco was at, given that many CEGB power stations had a locomotive No. 1? I can't see any evidence of a name in the linked photos, but equally I can't even see a number! Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 (see Works No 1990). --Danny252 (talk) 15:03, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
