I once saw the lovely Jacqueline Pearce at Leicester Square tube station. In fact, I nearly walked into her. Instead, she clocked my double-take and I saw a brief “I’ve still got it” smile appear at the corner of her mouth... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboSnail Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 (edited) I've just spent the last few minutes trying to spell out words with my SECR locos. Not getting very far with P, C, F, H and R. Maybe I can make up for the lack of vowels with A1 and R1! Or more probably I should just make an O class. Maybe at exhibitions one could run trains with coded messages depending on how irritating the current viewers were!

RMweb Premium Compound2632 Posted August 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 29, 2019 Since one of the three standard classes of locomotive that James Stirling introduced on the South Eastern Railway was designated Q and there was no class U, one is forced to the conclusion that he regularly lost at Scrabble when the family got together for Hogmanay. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of things been done, Hovis used the head codes of Southern electric trains to spell out their brand name in 1926! From http://publictransportexperience.blogspot.com/2016/02/southern-electric-electrified-fbb-1.html "In 1915, when the London and South Western Railway inaugurated their first electric train services, they introduced alphabetical head-codes in lieu of the traditional discs used on steam locomotives so that the general public could more easily identify their train. A 1926 advertisement widely deployed on the railways showed five such trains carrying headcodes H ō V I S along with an explanation (H-Hampton Court, ō-Hounslow, V-Kingston (Thames Valley), I-Dorking North & Effingham and S-Shepperton). The fact that the "clockwise" Hounslow Loop head-code was a slightly height-reduced 'O' topped by a bar led to the rendering of the brand as HōVIS - a rendering that significantly outlasted the advertising campaign."
