I'm with Larry on this. While that Santa Fe Super Chief is based on a real
world object, Lego are just tagging Lego creations with a hopefully marketable
identifier.
The 6285 I possess is a USA edition and has the name Black Seas Barracuda on
the box. Did Australian (European) sets actually have a name on them ?

Maybe all Lugnetters should learn Danish and only converse in Danish while
on Lugnet (;^)
Using the original Danish names (if that's the starting point).
