Hi kevin,

'fraid not. Pansy was always called Pansy right from her launch in the 1930's

was it this scottish maid by any chance:

Are you sure she was a Byker lass and not a Windlass?. I think you have got the size just about right. It's odd but I find that with all the large stuff still to do I still agonise most over the tiny details (the colour of a stipe or height of a deckhouse window etc.). Keep it up you're making real progress.

still not 100% wether I made the boards big enough. Seems a little lost although that might change when the capping rails gets its white paint, and the pinstriping & numbers get painted on as well
