What shall I name this then?

Post by JMORG » Wed May 14, 2014 1:00 pm

Hi all,
After over a years work, I am finishing off my Playmobil Steam Locomotive conversion. This German looking locomotive is starting to look smart in it's new livery (still a secret)!
I am currently stuck on a name for this locomotive, however. My fathers stock is named after family and friends, so I cannot clash with those. :?
My two Roundhouse locomotives (and my other Playmobil conversion, the Diesellok) and named with a Forest of Dean theme (it is the Dean Forest Narrow Gauge after all!).
My question is, what shall I name the loco? I was thinking "Beast of Dean" (named after the legendary cryptid, a Moose-Pig). What does everyone else think? :)

A good choice and better than my fifth option of Newerne street toilets!
