Look under Head Codes. 4th one down. Should 79501
Yup, C4403 64 stone in-traffic rail grinder.
Saw this twice stood at Tuxford this week. There looked to be a nameplate on one of the driving cars, but I couldn't get a decent view of it.
See comments on DR79501 - it's named Guy Babbs.
Thanks Dan for pointing me in the right direction. I had only checked the info tab I never thought to check the comments.
That appears to have slipped through at the time - now edited to include the name.
I had done an internet search trying to find out some information on this name, before my first post to this discussion saying I believed part of the train was named.
Now knowing the name I've googled again and found this Linkedin post about Guy Babbs retirement.

Guy Babbs was a long-serving planner at NR, he retired a few years ago and as a mark of respect and thanks, C4403 was named in his honour.
