===Naming the locomotive===
After emerging from Crewe Works in 1954, the locomotive was named ''Duke of Gloucester'' prior to entering revenue-earning service. Had further locomotives been constructed, they would have belonged to the ''Duke'' Class, standing alongside the sister locomotives of the ''Britannia'' and ''Clan'' Classes. Since then, the locomotive has colloquially been referred to by enthusiasts and crews as the ''Duke''.
