Since MLS is a full of folks who have great ideas, I thought I would try and get some hints or suggestions for a project I am working on. I started a builder's log, read here:
http://www.mylargescale.com/Features/BuildersLogs/tabid/66/BlogID/29/Default.aspx
Under the topic of paint schemes, I posted some rough MS Paint versions of what I think might look good. I'm interested in comments and feedback.
Also, because the locomotive is named after my dog, I decided to have some fun with the lettering. I was going to just letter the tender with "M.R.R." for the Millersvillanova Rail Road. However, when I drew that on a piece of paper, it occured to me that I could just as easily make it "G.R.R.R" When I showed MB both of those choices, she read out loud "GRRR!" That sealed that deal.
So, now I am polling all of you. What could GRRR possibly stand for? I was trying to think along the lines of something that would be important to a dog.
Go Run RR
Gopher Ridge Railroad
Great Retriever Railroad
etc....
Some notes about Lucia's personality:
She's a little yellow labrador retriever who loves to play, especially chasing the ball. Here's are a couple of pics. This was after playing at the dog park for about 2 hours.
Thanks for any comments!
