==================================


On the train side, a Mogul is a 2-6-0 wheel arrangement steam
locomotive. A Mogul is also an Emporer of Delhi between the 16th and
19th centuries ("Mogul" is a corruption of the word "Mongolian" - as the
Mongolians established an empire in India under the Grand Mogul in the
early 16th Century. It is also a colloquial word meaning "important or
influential person").

As for "Consolidation", it is either a 2-8-0 steam locomotive, or the
act of solidifying, strengthening or combining one's territories,
estates, power, companies, statutes or debts into one whole.

I seem to recall that it's also the name of a US Navy aircraft carrier -
and is also probably the name of a spaceship in Star Trek.
