Years ago I built a layout and gave it a name. I took out a map closed my eyes and picked two points. The result was Aurora and Fort Wayne. I liked it. Guess I kept it. Never thought much of naming another anything else! Looks as if your going to have some fun!

Mine is named the EL&M Ry, after the three grandaughters. It's a branch of the CB&Q.

Baltimore, Ohio and Wabash Railroad

Now that I have a lttle more time, I would like to explain the naming of my railroad. When I was about four or five, see photo below, my mother would take me to see my father's parents in Baltimore, Maryland. We would board the train in Lafayette, Indiana on the banks of the Wabash River and ride the NYC to Cincinnati. At Cincinnati, Ohio we boarded the B&O National Limited and followed the Ohio River east to West Virginia and on into Maryland. We exited the train at either Camden Yards or Mount Royal Station in Baltimore.

Hello All: I have to start soon on the new one , just moved into the new house. I haven't decided on a name yet, I have a 20 x 20 space to work with, have already built it in my head, one thing is certain the main passenger station will be called Coffe Pot station. Hey Tim: You had better copyright that logo, you just might get royaltie's from one of manufacturer's one day. Havea great Weekend Kind Regard's Steve

Mine is small (less than 25 ft of track) so I call it "The PissANT Table"...

Small Layouts are cool! Low post counts are even more cool! NO GRITS in my pot!!!

Mine is called " Blueberryhill RR ". That's because I live on Blueberryhill Hill. And that's where I found my thrill !!! A little song trivia.
But, I'm having fun !!

I don't have a name for my 4x8 layout, but I think an appropriate name at this point is the "Busted and Defeated Railroad"! I have so many things to fix-up, and so little time or money..... sound familiar?

Jim D,

That's funny!

Notice there's a couple of chairs so visitors can watch the action and perhaps smoke some cigars, while the nice ladies are outside mowing the lawn.

BTW, my under construction layout is the Tequilla Sunrise. The track gang had too much tequilla and didn't get up at sunrise.

Ophir and Oblivion - Ophir because the trains cost money and Ophir was the site of silver mines and Oblivion because all of my layouts are built on the broadloom badlands which means they are very temporary.

It is called " The Trainboard" because it is a trainboard on the floor, and flat as a board (except for the mountain ).

My railroad is called the Reading and PA Railroad, and we run a merger of the Reading Company and PRR. This is NOT the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. No, not that at all. This is the Reading and PA RR. We provide service between Shamokin, PA and Philadelphia, via Lancaster and Reading. We also have Reading Crusader service to NY City and we offer some PRR train service to NY City as well. We also provide service from the Lionel toy train factory in the industrial part of Shamokin to the Lionel Hobby Shop in the downtown part of Shamokin. Likewise, beer is brewed at the Shamokin Brewing Company, and it is carried by over 20 different reefers to the two pubs in town. The Ritz-Carlton has opened a new hotel in Shamokin, near the train station. Should make it a little nicer for those arriving by train to have a nice night's sleep before heading out to the mining collieries to transact business.

The Reading and PA Railroad...Allllll Aboooard !!

Ps. Hi snell50 !!!!!!
