That's fine, but up here, the engines tend to being DRS-xx-x or such...
(Diesel Road Switcher, I think...)
Get a copy of 2nd diesel spotters guide, it is a good resource for use.
Otherwise:
4 axles (GE=B, GM=GP)
6 axles (GE=C, GM=SD)
I'm not a diesel fan, so don't ask me!

Steam, in particular UK, I can do a credible job of (but I don't know the
difference between a Clayton and a Patriot...more like, LMS 4-6-0 to me :). I
can tell between a Brit and a Clan though. And most of the BR standards (all
