Don't know if this has been discussed previously but it occurred to me that we will need a nickname for the class 99 e.g. such as Westerns, Gronks, Hoovers, Grids, etc.
I should like to put forward 'Flakes' in part for the obvious ice cream reference but I also love the idea of the irony that such a powerful loco could be called a Flake.
Just thinking ahead!!
