So you don't think I am talking about a black queen as on a chess board or a woman figure dressed in black like Johnny Cash.
There is another point of difference. To me "carriages" are "wagons" which "carry" human passengers - like the horse drawn carriages of old. "Wagons" is a broader term for any loco hauled rail vehicle.

...but perhaps your group of people and your generation have heard of the game of chess anyway?

Sometime later:
I downloaded the Church Bus and this vehicle is wrecked. The church people in my town will have to walk, drive or bike to service.

This thread is so funny
I mostly model German stuff, Germany has compound words where several words are joined together to form one long word. "Mammutwörter"
Then of course there are different meanings to words..Tenderlokomotiven are tank locomotives.
Schlepptenderlokomotiven are tender locomotives, literally 'pull tender locos'.
This is my favourite German word
Siebenhundertsiebenundsiebzigtausendsiebenhundertsie-benundsiebzig
Translation? ....... how many hours I seem to have spent on Trainz.

Yes! I studied German for a couple of years and ran into some interesting ones. Even today I still read some German and other languages as a Classical pianist.
Here's an interesting non-German "large" word:
demisemihemidemisemiquaver which means 256th note
A nice Commodore UTE :hehe:
Well, I found out Rail lingo in Britain is entirely different from US rail lingo, even though regular language is far more similar.
This does create confusion when searching for things in DLS. Example:
Truck (US) = Bogie (UK)
Truck (UK) = Freight car (US)
Then again, what can be done? People name stuff in the language they know. Biological sciences agreed to use standarized latin names for everything, but no such consensus was ever made in the rail world.
