No it is the old Mauritania. Red funnels for Cunard, buff for White Star. Of no particular interest but I have a mirror from her that my mother purchased in the 1930s when the ship was decommissioned before scrapping.
 
You hav'nt noticed any ships?........"Das Boot!" if you want shipz and trainz................................:eek:
 
well i'v made more screen shots of old mauritania hitting an ice berg and sinking becuase the mauritana does look the titanic like sorta a twin
becuase the titanic has 4 smoke stacks and the sides were white then black then red. and dredman i didn't post on yours because i guess its your pics only, ps i love your old west pics of the ships :). and i got the ships (yes i get a few more) if u type RMS in serch with it on name u will get the ships;)
 
For information:

Cunard had three four funnelers, Mauritania (holder of the Blue Riband), Lusitania (sunk off Ireland in WW1) and Aquitania (which survived until after WW2 and I used to see as a boy at Southampton). All had the traditional red funnel with black topping. This still survives (in a somewhat modernistic fashion) on Cunard's latest vessel, Queen Mary 2.

White Star also had three, Titanic, Britannic (which never entered passenger service and sank in the Mediterranean in WW1 while on duty as a hospital ship) and Olympic (which was scrapped in the late 1920s I think). These had the buff White Star funnel with black topping
 
no The Olympic Class ships were originaly to be passenger ships.
Olmypic was first serving Passengers till WW1 then put into service for both WW1 and WW2. after that she was scraped.
Titanic was second. on her maiden voyage she hit an iceberg and sank and is today still facinating to people. it was 1912.
Britannic has a more intersestng story. She was being fitted as WW1 started. then she was ordered to be a hospital ship and Olympic as a cursier. in 1918 she was hit by a mine and sank. it was November.
i really would like to see these ships in Trainz though.......

No the Britannic hit a mine in 1916 not 1918 and the Olympic did not become a crusier it became a troop transport.:mad::mad: I studied this stuff to death so i know what im talking about look it up online and you will see im right.

I just lurned about Olympic & Britannic yesterday in History Class...
Apparently, White Star was building another ship ("Gigantic") at the time the Titanic sunk...
I wonder what happened to it :rolleyes:
~TTT100~



Also, note the endings: they all end in "ic"!

Britannic was going to be named Gigantic but they changed it to Britannic when it was being built. BTW most if not all White Star's ships names ended in IC just like most Cunard's ended in IA, such Lusitania, Carpathia, and so it was not until the introduction of the Queen's did this system change not counting the ships it recieved from mergers, and other ships such as the German liner Imperator which was renamed Berengaria in 1921 and in 1938 it caught fire and was soon there after scrapped as it was considerd beyond repair.

duh. i know your right but i cant think right now. time diferance of 2 yeard big deal. and i cant think of what the Olympic was in the wars.
give me break. i know more of the Titanic sinking.
 
Sorry but Olympic did NOT survive until WW2. I have now checked my dates and was slightly out. She made her last transatlantic crossing in March 1934 and was then stripped and finally scrapped in 1937. Of all the four funnelers only the Aquitania survived long enough to be a troopship in WW2. All this information can be found quite easily by a quick search of the net. Now lets get back to pictures.
