Need a Name Here

Unread postby Whatzizname » Sun Aug 11, 2013 10:13 pm

Alright, I Know my signature thingamajig says that i am not making the TNAA Railroad, But that will not stop me from skinning the locomotives for use on my brothers computer, so i need 1 thing answered

What do you think TNAA could stand for?

Just a couple of things
1. It needs to be based in USA or Canada
2. The cities or whatever its named after can be completely fictional, due to the route (which i will make when i get a new pc after this one breaks) will be entirely fictional

I have no idea right now, So if it is okay, could you put your suggestions down below and i will decide on a nice one.
And you should see some (really crappy) locomotives come to the forum soon.

"Tuffsfield Northern & Ann Arbor" - This name sounds some what plausible as the Ann Arbor is a real road.

Yes and we could reuse the "Cotton Belt" paint scheme, only replacing "Cotton" with "Bible"



*Yes I know North carolina is not South Carolina but this was too good to pass.

Tacoma, Newcastle, Abbotsford & Armstrong. :D

I have had a think about the name

Anyone remember how Burlington Northern Santa Fe got their name officially changed to BNSF (i was reading about it this morning)
Well Why don't I have the railroad originally a Seaboard Competitor, But eventually just shortened the name to TNAA.
But some older model locomotives will hold the original paint scheme

Why not model it during the transition period? Have one part of the route kinda run down and a bumpy run while the other half (the principle owner) has a better track and rolling stock.

For example...
UP had to do a ton of track upgrades when they bought SP. They also patched all the locos, and retired many wagons which had seen better days.

BNSF did similar with their older locos and wagon while the newer power were repainted into the joint scheme.
