That's sharp Toptrain. What does "ANNA" Stand for? I remember you saying it was your son's railroad.
Was the name supposed to be "Meteor" ?

Anyway, I'm quadruple dipping with a few nearly complete locos of mine that all need parts to one degree or another.
Anthony
Bought this old bachmann at a train show for $3, missing the cab, motor was trashed despite the praise old bachmann can motors recieved. Remotored with a cheap can motor, runs sweet, still have to grind more metal out of the weight to accommodate the new setup, and of course, NEEDS A FRIGGIN CAB! Named this one "Anthony" of the "Anthony Po Railroad Co." A bit of an inside reference.
Connor
This locomotive was actually the subject of my first post on the forums, needed a screw and spacer for it, eventually got them, repainted it from the paint job I had it in before, I think it looks great now. Just missing a truck (Which I broke) for the tender, and a bell. (I like to use the bells from the mantua dixie bells, but cut off a yoke, as I did for Blaxland #5) I had to flip around a driver to get it running properly, but it runs as sweet as a nut now. Got this loco and a mantua prarie for $22. Amazing deal considering this loco is worth probably $80 alone. Named him Connor for my series, no roadname because I couldn't decide on anything.
David
Had this one for a while, was painted once, but then stripped into its final paint job, as shown here. Lettered it as Blaxland #5 "David" who is a core character in my series. Just need a smokebox door, however I've seen the smokebox door from the IHC 2-6-0 is a perfect fit, hopefully Brian has one. Added seperate grabs on the tender, kadees, window glass, and some better electrical pickup as well as a bell from a tyco dixie bell which I do not have on yet.
Benjamin
A friend of mine, Benjamin, initially made his OC southern 4501, but changed it due to there being like, a million other 4501 OC's out there. He then changed it to M&NF #12, a Southern A-7. I decided the A-7 is too hard to kitbash, so I'm just keeping his mikado heritage, but as a generic USRA mike, lettered for his fictional road, the Buckeye Branch. Loco is a mehano 2-8-2, still working on adding all the details and such. A bit of a way from completion. Still needs paint, some other details, need to strip and repaint the tender, etc.
Subscribe to benny, he makes 3D models in Blender! He will also be composing the majority of the music for my series. Super cool, and a great friend of mine! Heres a link to his latest video ---> https://youtu.be/erNgw7kMEKE
He currently has only completed his OC, and has it exported for use in Trainz simulator!  
OC "Other Character" used to talk about somebody's fictitious character they came up with.

Well people Here is my answer to Metor. sound it out ME T OR. a short version used when only 5 letters will fit. Yes i know that properly spelled out the word has 6 letters and doesn't fit below the windows on the general.
Now ANNA is a girls name . Anna RR is Anna Rail Road is a Rail Road named after a girl. This is also a railroad that my son and I run on out layouts. My son has carried it out a little further lettering freight cars for the ANNA RR. OK! I still dont know why you wanted to know this.
