During the steam engine period of British Railways all the larger
locomotives were named.
Can anyone point me to a website listing all the names? with if
possible the classes and dates of use.

Dear kemlo,

I have found a book containing exactly the information you are looking
for. Would you be interested in this, instead of a website (which
seems not to exist anywhere)?

Regards,
Scriptor

There is a posting there that reads:"I would be happy to help anyone
who would like information on named loco's if they have a question. My
database contains information on nearly 9500 names, and I am working
on my 11th pre-grouping company."

The posting is from 1999, but you never know
