4901 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Back in the 1950s my parents listened to "Round Britain Quiz" with its panel of remarkable brains. The only question I ever got completely correct was "What do the following have in common, apart from being dogs - bulldogs, terriers, and greyhounds?" The panel flailed around until the question master put the out of their misery. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it's a nickname I don't know the photographers name, but it's "common" use. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:68031_Felix_at_Scarborough_Station..jpg As for trains with animal connections look at Japan. Loads of them including a Hello Kitty train and even one with ears! https://top.his-usa.com/destination-japan/wakayama/tama_cat.html OOPS. Didn't notice the steam locomotives criteria..... Jason And there I was, thinking it was named after Sir Felix Pole, sometime General Manager of the Great Western Railway (the proper GWR, that is).

Not in T'Pennines! No GWR in that neck of the woods. Last one of those GWR things they sent to Huddersfield hit about half a dozen platforms. Here it is before being dragged to Crewe as an out of gauge load. https://thetransportlibrary.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=76783 Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reply when you are up to it and be nice to yourself, mate. Thank you for the understanding, I have been having major depression ups and downs this year. My fault went ferreting when I shouldn't have on certain things. Got some help from my psychologist and a awesome friend from Scotland named Robbert to help me with it. But I am getting the last few bits together to finally launch my Patreon and Youtube to build my dream of a toy company, Dash Terrier Creations the engine names you all showed me will be my tiers and such. Have gotten a theme song made and now am making a animation for intro and such, I'll be designing characters in a Pixel art style (yes this includes my locos) and once I get enough done I will design their prototypes and possibly 3D sculpt. Many things will be made by hand. It is a slope as steep as the Lickey but I got hope for a banker like Bertha, that in fact is going to be the name of my second highest tier name. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear you’re on an up at the moment, 844; company launching is a big boost of positivity and you seem to have a bucketful of creative ideas to go with it! No need for thanks, they come with the territory. ATB for the toy company! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
