A friend of mi e built some brakevans for a Lancashire and Yorkshire based layout and the L&Y used to put the gaurds names on them. All the members of the team got their names one the various vans we also put the layout owners name on the mill chimney so the firm became known s Brearley's yarn spinners.

I'm in the process of renaming a Hornby Coronation as Princess Alice after my daughter. But there's a "real" one to go on. Does that count? I'm also going to have to have Princess Charlotte - again, there was a Star, but I may fudge that one and pretend she was rebuilt as a Castle and kept the name...

I have two cousins, Lisa and Debbie, I know 73 206, owned by GBRf, is named Lisa, but haven't unearthed any locos named Debbie or Deborah, so far I haven't done anything as they may think I'm favouring one of them over the other, I'll have to pretend that another GBRf loco was named Debbie and commission a special nameplate.
