HELP WITH NAMES

I spend absolutely hours playing "Railroad Tycoon II" during which I have to name trains, I try to keep in alphabetical order so I can remember where I am at. Some have place names such as "Torbay Express" "Bristolian" etc also "Mayflower", "Golden Hind" and the like. What I need is some good alphabetical names so I can have Western ???, so far I have Accord and Arrow for A, and Beacon, Bounty and Brave for B. Any suggestions for other names I can use. especially need I words, only have Icon at the moment. But any suggestions welcomed.

Used to catch the "Golden Hind" to Paddington in the seventies with my brother,got in at St Davids about 6.30am iirc.To watch his beloved WHU.Hes ten years older than me but always paid,as i was only young.Still go up with him now,occasionally.No help to you PP at all,good memories though.

Western Imperial or Invincible?

Hi PP,

Used to be a trainspotter, but can't remember anymore than those on this link.

Downthetrack would have had one of those on the Golden Hind circ 1970-1975

I spent my 49th birthday behind D1010 Western Campaigner on The West Somerset Railway in 2010, for an old girl herself of 48, she performed faultlessly, 2 round trips, totalling 80 miles

Pete, the problem you have here is, these are locomotive names, and not train names.

Train names such as Golden Hind, Wessex Belle, The Flying Scotsman, the Aberdonian, Cornish Riviera etc.... were pulled by these locomotives, or in the case of The Flying Scotsman & The Aberdonian these wee beasties >>>>>>> http://www.railblue.com/Class%20Headers%20v2.0/class_55V.2.htm

Also to confuse you more, there was of course both a locomotive, and a train, named The Flying Scotsman

Here to be both per Dan & Dick

Pete, as promised yer be that list of 'train names'

Thanks very much for all your efforts, now have more names than trains.

Then shouldn't you be on "Railroad Tycoon II", trying to catch up, rather than on here



ps

if you do run out of names.... the Westerns, initially 100 were ordered, I can let you have the 26 locomotive names, that were not used, just ask

The unused ones were at the bottom of the list you sent. On RTII from 4 to 7 this morning, currently in China, playing it 5 ways from 1920, a Jap takeover, b Nationalist takeover, c Communist takeover, d British takeover, e Russian takeover. they all happened is some form in reality.

OK, as long as you're on the, case Mr Jones

and it was 35 years ago yesterday, 26th February 1977, that the fine class 52 locomotives, last turned a wheel in BR service... seems like only yesterday RIP the 67 that went to the great layout in the sky and long live the magnificent 7
