I think so, that's what I meant anyway.
Of course, there were a lot of diesel classes that were more or less known by names related to the manufacturers/engines, and so on:
'Hymeks' (D7000-D7100), 'Cromptons'; (D65xx/class 33), 'Claytons' (D8500-D8616), and 'Metro-Vicks' (D5700-D5719). 'Westerns' of course were self-explanatory, and then there were the 'Baby Deltics' (D5900-D5909). Oddly, I've never heard of any nicknames for the LMS/BR diesels 10000/10001. Shame one of THESE couldn't have been saved.
