My surname "Anthony" is fairly common and so is my first "given" name. But the spelling of my middle name, "Leigh" is less common. I think I was born and named when Vivian Leigh (Gone with the Wind) was popular. To avoid having a use a name like anthony123445678, I used "leigh" + an abbreviation of "anthony."
Now for my password. No, wait, I'm not going to tell that one.
Hi
When I was sigining up for the forum I drew a blank, so I fell back on my old CB handle (older guys will remember CBs) from the 70s and 80s.
Yes I agree, it's a little off topic for a MRR forum but it's too much trouble to change now. It does bring back memorys of a fun little sports car with wings.
Have fun

Mine orginally was borrowed from a sign I saw - Yougottawanna short for "You got to want to change" some of the posters her have shortened it to YGW. I liked that so I sign off with that.

When I lived in LA I went out one day with my trusty camera to shoot some trains. I photographed a GP-30 in the yard where the Pasadena Fwy crosses the LA River and the Golden State Fwy. The number of the locomotive was 831. Since I grew up near UP tracks and GP-30s are my favorite diesels, it just seemed logical.

I'm really "into" the anthracite (hard coal) region of PA for a number of different reasons, not the least of which is MRR-ing, so one could say I'm a "hard case for hard coal"... "hardcoalcase" for short.

I saw a fender bender anbd tried to get the number of the car. That car hit mine the driver was impared and the passenger of that car tried to assalt my wife so I had to take care of him then the police arrived he had many warrants out out there so I got a good one. A suppervisor at work heard the story and rambo became the name.
Pretty much self-explanitory....I am into HOn3 narrow gauge and Its role in hauling uranium ore during WWII as part of the Manhattan project source material. A sudden and drastic effort on the part of the government to get a lot of something that before 1939 was not used for much of anything beyond carnival glass and pottery glaze colorant.

The 'cr' represents Conrail, 'hostler' is just what it is, and 61 is the last digits of the year I entered the world kicking and screaming.
I was a locomotive electrician/hostler for Conrail 1988 to 1994. Hostler was far more fun as a job function.

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 270 gears on any big block is going to send it sailing for top speed. I don't believe you could ever find a Hemi with gears any taller than 3.55:1, most came with 3.70 or 4.11--Gee I wonder why they would top out, but do it while the 440 you talk about is still trying to find it's final shift. 440s with 3.55 gears were being eaten alive by even the 375HP 396s also (had one of those too).
