Literally

Literally.

Well, Braumeister, you asked for it and here it is. --MadCat221 (talk) 07:45, March 7, 2014 (UTC)

Eh, kind of a letdown, actually. Other than the big dragon-ram thing, it's not really much to write home about. I guess I was expecting something a lot more "spark-y". Jagerdraught Braumeister (talk) 11:16, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
I don't think the Corbettite monks are sparks, just good engineers (in both senses). They are running this train system for ordinary people, and I think ordinary people would be frightened, or at least leery, of using a mode of transportation that looked overly Saprky. -- William Ansley (talk) 16:56, March 7, 2014 (UTC)

"The Wyre of Limerick"? surely they aren't in ireland yet, are they? Finn MacCool (talk) 15:40, March 7, 2014 (UTC)

I think it says "The Wyrm of Limerick". It might be the name of the train - I supposed you could imagine it does look like a serpent or worm, which were alternative meanings of wyrm, in addition to dragon. But, wyrm or not, I don't know why it is "of Limerick". -- 16:56, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
The sign definitely reads The Wyrm of but then it seems to say Limend.' There is a 4X enlargement below. I will run a search on Limend and let you know. However, the nose of the locomotive is made up to look very much like an Oriental Dragon which a European might think of as a "wyrm."-- Billy Catringer (talk) 20:49, March 7, 2014 (UTC)

The Train

Wyrm

The Wyrm of Limend?

The only thing I found that makes sense is this. -- Billy Catringer (talk) 20:54, March 7, 2014 (UTC)

Steam partially obscures the name. To me, that looks more like an 'r i' than an 'n' and a 'c k' than a 'd'. We may need to wait until Monday and hope for a clear picture. At least, no one on this site has claimed they must be in Ireland (other fan sites have). It's just the name of the train, whatever that turns out to be. AndyAB99 (talk) 22:12, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
