[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by TEFFY The name of the town at the end of my branchline is Podunk. An old name for small towns. Bob [/quote] My Simmons Pacific railroad starts its branch in Podunk Junction. If you really want to get some good names watch Looney Tunes you will even find products named after the directors like signs that say Drink Frizz, since Frizz Frealing was a director. Some of the best ones are in the western towns like the Last Chance Saloon followed by the Next to Last Chance Saloon, and finally the Fat Chance Saloon, or the Rigger O' Mortis the Smiling Undertaker. Somewhere I heard of a undertaker with the motto You Plug 'em we plant 'em. On my layout I have the Second Class Saloon, the Suds Bucket (a biker bar), and the Walton and Sons Lumber Company (with the motto A yard of good lumber. I have seen others with more subtlety, like Rusty's Junk Yard. How about Garfield’s Italian food, or Chuck's Barbershop(since Charlie Browns Dad was a Barber). James[C):-)] P.S. As you drive along the one of the Highways out here there is a neon sign with just the words EAT GAS. One wonders if this is the consequence of eating there, what they sell, or what you are supposed to eat.
