[:)]When I was in the process of joining and was asked my name, I just gave them my name. When I started reading the forums, I found that many of you have very interesting names. I would like to know the story behind those names.[:0] BTW, my last name is pronounced Clo. I tell everyone that it is like the train goes into the “dee poe”, not the “dee pot”! [:D]Whatever, I would like to know your stories. [^]Thanks,
Walter
First initial, last name. A lot of thought went into it. [swg]
It was my original email address, now I just use it for a lot of things. It’s my first initial, last name, and baseball number for when I used to play.
wgnrr = The Wisconsin Great Northern Railroad, which is in scenic Spooner, WI.
Phil
It is also my e-mail address. When I would type something good in it would say it had already been taken so I thought of a name and typed in a bunch of letters and …now you know the story
In theory mine should be self explanatoy…
im a drummer...im a trainfan
Mine is the name of an AC/dc album JAILBREAKER '74
Drumming Trainfan, What kind of music do you like? Do you have a day job, or does the drum feed you?
A day job? Does 8th grade count?[:o)] I like almost anything except country, rap, and most modern pop music [xx(].
Drummer Im in 9th. I chose my name b/c its the basis for my email adress and I like it!
|,|, TO THAT!jailbreak ‘74…i love the live version. (currently listening to burnin’ alive
Burnin’ alive, set my soul on fire
Runnin’ with a gun, this place is gonna burn
No firewater, or novacaine
No thunderstorm, no John Wayne
No kids to rock, nowhere to run
So watch out 'cause this place is gonna burn
Burnin’ alive, Burnin’ alive
Burnin’ alive, Burnin’ alive)
my name comes from my self proclamed title, GEARHEAD, and the size of the baddest motor to rumble out of the seventies–426 Street Hemi.

I live in New Zealand, I like Rail, my last name in Mackay.
NZR Mac.
Ken.
Iv’e got NoSpace(room)Ore(mining)Cash($)RR(Railroad) thus NoSpaceOreCashRR
Surely you jest, the 426 being the baddest, you’ve GOT to be kidding. The 440 King Kong (Police Interceptor) motor could spank one any day of the week. Granted, it may take it nearly a mile to get up to speed, but they were built for high speed pursuit. Given the 2 of them in a pursuit, the 426 would give out first, thus the 440 would end up with the advantage. Now if you’re talking about a heavily built 426 vs. a stock 440 KK, then you’re comparing apples to oranges.
Oh, BTW, my user name is also my business name.
Brad
Just my name, I didn’t know any better.
Last name, date of birth… eh… And by the way, twcenterprises, I’ll take the HEMI, too. Granted, the 440 had more low end torque, but the high end breathing advantage that the HEMI had, more than made up for it.
My parents picked it.
You and I were very original, huh?
Foreshortened the name of my semifreelance coal-hauling connection, the Tomikawa Tani Tetsudo - Richstream Valley Railroad. Iron road, if translated literally, but let’s not quibble.
I’d show you the five characters used to write it, but this keyboard isn’t set up to reproduce Japanese kanji.

I don’t remember.
