My new mamod mk11 needs a name in keeping with the fleet of the Warren Point and Stow railway.
Fleet names so far are:-
Warren (town name)
Stow (town name)
Ivor (what else would you call a small green engine?)
Eva (is as good as Ivor)
Blodwyn (name of a dragon in Ivor the engine)
Draig Bach (little dragon in welsh)
any ideas?

Well, with the dragon theme developing nicely you obviously have a taste for creatures from Celtic Mythology, from narrow gauge country connection. So how about "Moddey Dhoo" from Manx legend, or if you prefer maybe his English counterpart Black Shuck (among other aliases).

EDIT: On reading the article closely, I see there are Welsh equivalents too- Gwyllgi and the Cwn Annwn.

Hi Brian sadly no gf or significant other unless you count the rabbit
Tommy the dragon theme was accidental but fits with the mamod habits of breathing fire and being red hot.
In view of it being a mk2 "cortina" was toyed with but rejected
