Named QR diesels and electrics are:

1281  Century
1461  Centennial
1565  Alva G Lee
1770  James Cook
2181  P J Goldston
3101  Sir Joh Bjelke Petersen
3101  John Jeffcoat
3501  Don Lane       (the transport minister)
3503  Doug Mendoza
3548  City of Gladstone
DL1   Etheridge
DL2   Forsayth
DL3   Mouht Surprise
DL4   Alma-Den

1170 was unofficially named Pawpaw after a racehorse, and this nickname
was eventually applied to the entire class.

ICE half sets are also named.

Cheers
David
