If it was then it would of been off the train for a while, because you don't tend to turn it off.

the heavy rain caued the sea to come over the huge pebble bank in some places and it flooded towns thats why in some places we went the sirens were out

The names, and classes came about as the engines were built at the very end of WW2. They were split up into:
Merchant Navy class (before WW2)
Battle of Britain class
West Country class
A Merchant Navy Class engine would be named after Mail Ships, Shipping Companies etc. For example, the first of the class was named 'Channel Packet'
Battle of Britain engines were named after squadrons, types of planes etc. e.g. 92 Squadron
West Country engines were named after towns, villages and cities in the West Country (Devon, Somerset etc.) No. 21C123 being 'Blackmoor Vale'.

there are no difference between the bob and west country classes apart from the names and other little things

How true! They made a joke about Norfolk and Cars on 'Have I got News for you" last week:
"Cars are now so common place in Norfolk, that locals have stopped pointing at them"
