A few of us are having a friendly little slogan war. It is just for fun. [:D]

If you have a favorite railroad and would like to let us know its slogan please do.

If you have a model railraod and want to share its slogan please do.

Remember it is just for fun so don't be mean.

A very interesting topic. On my model railroad - the Washagami & Northland, our slogan is "Canada's Northern Gateway". Slogan kind of add something to the enjoyment of a model railroad and gives it more of that prototye atmosphere.

My railroad is the Virginia & Lake Erie officially known as the "Vale Route", but known to disgruntled employees as "Very Late Engines".
Enjoy

Well most of you have already seen it

If it didn't arrive in a M.E.S.S. ......Then we didn't ship it!

and

The Beg, Borrow, Haul & Steel Line!

But you haven't seen these yet

This M.E.S.S. runs better on MT and Almost Nothing then the other competition!

The M.E.S.S. Not when you care how it gets there

I'm sure there will be more to mess with

Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010

I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017
