Do you have a model railroad with a funny name or mottos? If so, post them here. Here are mine:

Kneiding, Repaire and Knewe Partes

“Connecting Kneading with some other places, in a little while.”

“Route of the heavyweighters”

“The grammatically and meckanically challenged lien”

“If it absolutely must get there overnight, then we might just start a new freight for you.”

“The first railroad with dispatching software designed by Archimedes and brakes by Nostradamus”

“Here at KR&NP we value tradition—that’s why we haven’t bought new equipment in 147 years.”

“We always welcome excursioning locomotives—after all, we have a nine stall roundhouse and four locomotives.”

“Our equipment isn’t made by Pullman per se, but in a little bit you might have to get out and pull, man.”

Hope you had some laughs,
Daniel

"Thanks for shipping via The Bridge Cross RR! Remember our motto: You provide the bridge, we'll cross it fer 'ya!"

"Now boarding on track #7: The Snail Liner Limited. Eighty-two days from Chicago to Los Angeles. Now boarding, folks, now boarding!"

"Need to ship on a budget? Try ATLAS for your railroad freight needs. ATLAS: All Tracks Lead (Ahem) Somewhere!"

I haven't thought about slogans yet for my WP&P, but maybe I could come up with a few off the cuff:

We Practice Pride (or Professionalism or some other P word) = SERIOUS SLOGAN

Will Probably Perish

We Plead for Patronage

Here are some:

"The line where Z-LA-CH-8-01 is a drag freight."

"The noncoplanar line."

"If you have it on your model layout, we can probably duplicate it in real life (especially derailments)."

Keep 'em coming. There are more funny people on this forum than three.

My North Texas Central---"Working hard to win back your trust" No so bad for a RR but if an airline uses it--watch out!

Reporting marks are NTCR--"No Train Came Recently."
