Foster Street - Naming locomotives - Suggestions Welcome

Well another exhibition, gets dangerously close, and the pressure is mounting to finish off, all of the outstanding jobs on Foster Street. What a sensible modeller would do in my position would be to get on with these jobs, but I don't think I could ever be described as being sensible for anything, let alone modelling, so I have spent a little time on a couple of my on-going locomotive projects.

 

There is still a lot of work to do on these, but if all goes well the crimson contingent on in the Foster Street roster will increase by 2 more, a Parallel Patriot and yet another Jubilee. I have cheated a bit by picking 5517 for the Patriot so I could get away with out nameplates, so I have only cheated a little bit :) ??

 

The question is what identity so I chose for the Jubilee, I'm thinking maybe a North West based example, but I really have no ideas, HELP

 

As ever until the next time, Happy Modelling :)

5690 Leander will score you brownie points with the exhibition manager. That or 5593 Kolhapur.

It's not about brownie points, :) but jut out of interest are they redeemable for Bacon sarnies?

You could provide pen and paper by your layout at the next exhibition and have the punters suggest names... Or maybe have a list of the names you like displayed, and then have people tick which one they like.

 

That would be in accordance with the great traditions of western democracy. And, continuing in the same tradition, you could then head home and eventually decide for yourself, saying it was all very democratic.
