Real name is Cor Bos and in Europe we (used to) call 4 axels locomotives "BoBo" and six axels "CoCo". So leaving two letters out of my real name would give a nice link to railroading.

They were the trains I grew up with and loved since I was old enough to run out the track and see them. That I guess was since I was about five or six years old. To see that flag fall was truly a heart breaker. It was almost like someone died in the family. :(
