How did you name your garden railroad?

While doing a research paper in high school I discovered that the streetcar line that I used to get around grew out of a steam narrow gauge coal hauling railroad. After seeing some old grainy black and white photos of this quaint little railroad I knew that my next railroad was going to be a somewhat freelanced version of this railroad. At the time I thought I would be modeling the Pittsburgh and Castle Shannon Rail Road in HOn3 but when we bought our house there just wasn't room inside for a railroad. After living in the house for a few years I discovered the magical world of "G" and as I learned more about it it just seemed to be the perfact solution. In G small engines are abundant and short cars are plentifull so I started building my version of the P. & C. S. R. R. And the bonus is very few people seem to know that it existed so I can take libertys with it that I could not get away with on a more well known prototype, but I also have a history to work from and to get insperation from. For me that is the best of both worlds
