Yeah, I got it a couple of mins after i posted :roll: :roll: :roll: :lol:

That could be a new name/title for the loco! "H.G.Butler, The Pheonix Locomotive", or something like that!

THATS IT!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Thanks I've finally got a good name (in my opinion) for Edrig!!!

It was going to be Rachel, but I think Phoenix would be a much better name! :D :D :D :D

If you went to an open day, you can have a plate saying ''Phoenix tours''.

Well, seeing that Edrigs name is now officially "Phoenix", I may start a trust for the Dolwyddelan Quarry Line called:

"The Phoenix Locomotive Trust"

or just Phoenix Tours for sort! I quite like the idea of this now, as I have a new Class of Mamod, The Phoenix Class! :D :D :lol:
