May I suggest naming them Nocon, Necti and Ngrods.
Thank you, Bigmet for the suggestions.

Names already chosen.
Boreas -- North wind
Eurus -- East wind
Notus --- South wind

I already have Zephyrus - West wind

Like your choices. It was simply irresistible to break up 'Noconnectingrods' into three short names all beginning with N, once their absence had been noticed...

I wondered how you came up with the names. :lol: Well done.

I have a group of locomotives on named on Greek mythology. Hence the names chosen. :)

I'm looking at that photo and thinking 'Gee, I can actually smell the wet ground!'
Then I realise the window next to me is open and it rained last night. :roll:

Thank you, gentlemen.

I am just daring to do something different. Just clear varnish that leaves a wet looking sheen here and there. Even on the warehouse walls on the backscene.

Purchased three limited edition wagons from Yeovil Railway Centre.
Two LSWR wagons to go with my Leeds, Scarcroft & Wetherby Railway fleet of rolling stock. Also purchased a boxvan I like.

New wagons slightly weathered to knock the sheen of newness off.

I used to either paint my own liveries or copy them from photos, though the trouble with copying from old photos is one does not have a clue in regards to their colour. I painted one open wagon that came from Cardigan in Wales in red, because I thought to myself "I may as well pick a colour as I couldn't tell from the old photograph!

The joy of model railways. Doing the things your way. :P Being different to other modellers. Love it.
