How did you come up with your forum I.D name ?
Mine is from the area that I model and that I am from
the east US. Hence, eastcoast.
Where do you think my forum name came from? [:p]
Dumb Question I admit.
Gotta have something to gossip about.
I was too enthusiastic about having bought the microsoft Train Simulator and the Flying Scotsman was my favorite loco, hence the name. (real name is Charlie)
the school i go to our school name is the Blackhawks but since most teams with terms used by Indians now are being sued and what not we usually go by the Hawks. that is what is on all our jerseys and on the basketball court. but still we are the Blackhawks. 05 is the year i graduate and 5 is my lucky number.
Hawks05 - school name plus year of graduation.
My screen-name goes back to about 1987 when I had a character for a science-fiction roleplaying game (the hobby I temporarily left model railroading for in high school and college) by that name. I started using it online in 1988 when I called the Steve Jackson Games “Illuminati” BBS and have used it as an online handle ever since…
Union Pacific Grayhound Challengers #s 3977-3980. Arguably the most beutiful locomotives to ever exist and my altime favorite. (Followed in a close second by a GN Big Sky Blue F-Unit) So that is how I became Grayhound Challenger.
Trust me, you don’t want to know

or at least growing something!!! [;)][:D][:p]
Hey at least I’m willing to try to disect your forum name and risk insult and injury[:D]
Mine is stupidly simple
Vsmith = Victor Smith, duh![:p]
It took a lot of thought… [:P]
After being away from MRR for about 15 years I came to this forum because MR mag was and still is my favorite mag. However, when I joined the forum I had no idea what name, handle, to choose. Now that I have named my RR I would like to change my forum name to reflect my RR name.
Is there a way to change your forum name/handle?
ya i kind of want to change mine in a way to. i have a tendency to do this. i go to probably 10 other sports, music, and railroad forums. on half probably i want to change my name but to no avail can i. i think if you want to change your name you have to sign up for another account.
Tramp as already taken.
I think mine is obvious!!
I got my username from three things:
- my real last name is Parr (and no, I don’t hear nearly as many golf cliches about my last name as you might think)
- I like Spanish, even though I know very little and what I do know I’m very lousy at
- having mostly caps seems to stand out
I use the same username (or some varient, i.e., EL_PARRo, elparro, etc.)on every message and forum on which I am registered, as well as my e-mail address and my AIM address, although EL PARRo was already taken on AIM, so I just added my jersey number from baseball.
Well, mines obvious. I choose my name in honor of my all time favorite locomotive, the Big Boy. The 4884 came from it’s 4-8-8-4 wheel arangment. But you knew that, didn’t you? [;)]
EL PARRo
