RMweb Premium SteveyDee68 Posted January 28, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2023 Due to an ahem administrative error* I am wondering about paired nameplates for a pair of Rapido Hunslet 0-6-0 locos in identical liveries. * You guessed it - I’ve bought an “Alex” only to discover I already had it on pre-order direct from Rapido! So, throwing it open to the combined wisdom of RMWeb, suggestions for pairs of names please… Eg Laurel & Hardy (or Stan & Oliver) Bill & Ben Romules & Remus Burke & Hare Obviously, if there is a railway themed link then all the better … Eg Flanders & Swann (“The Slow Train”) Looking forward to some inspiration! HOURS OF FUN!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halvarras Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 My Other Half is from Belfast so I've often thought my 1960s WR diesel collection should include D1674 'Samson' and D819 'Goliath'.........

For United fans of that vintage you could also have a Paddy/Roche pair of locomotives, but they wouldn't be anything like as reliable, being particularly prone to dropping things (firebars, fusible plugs in this case).
