Slang and Nicknames

Hi guys

I've just been thinking, which I know is dangerous at my age, but I have noticed over the months that a number of trains, locomotives equipment and locations have nicknames. An example of this is one I posted the other day the "Gobby" van, now I know what one is (a mobile office/workshop) but don't know where the name came from, but would be interested to know.

So come on dig deep for those odd names old and new as well as international.

Regards

John

Who can forget the Ivatts,

'Flying Pig'

'Mickey Mouse'

I am sure that this could become a very interesting thread!
