Apparently just 4 out of approximately 400.

Here is my last contribution for fictional names. Kevin will recorgnize the boxcar.
Kevin has been suggesting it is time for a change. So, let's get started with our ABC's.
Please show a road name beginning with the letter, A.

NVSRRHow about The Acme Coorperation. Serving Coyotes for 75 years.
I should've known that a plant producing rocket powered roller skates and industrial horseshoe magnets would be pretty big.
I like the switcher.
I did not see where Shane made a new request, so fictcious names are still on the menu.
Here is a classic, backdated for use in 1954:
Show me another made up name.

doctorwayneMore fantasy names, please.
The fictional PERRINS CASCADE AND NORTHERN is on a beautiful display inside the Roundhouse Museum at the DURANGO AND SILVERTON narrow gauge railroad in Durango, Colorado.
This model might be the tiniest 2-8-0 that I have ever seen.
Show me more ficticious names please.
SeeYou190Please show me another fictional name.
Well, the name of a good friend is real, but the business is fictional...
More fantasy names, please.
Heartland Division CB&QPlease show another fictional name.
Back when I used to go to every train show I could, and saw all the layouts on display, the "Hoffa Cement" company was all over the place.
I never cared for the joke, but I must admit, it always drew attention and points from the crowds. I guess that means it is successful.
This version is on the HO scale modular train show layout built by the Pasco County Model Railroaders.
Please show me another fictional name.
Ficticious names ....
Stray Dog Cafe (behind red convertible) is located across the street from the Flea Market.
Please show another fictional name.

A name inspired by John Allen, the DEVILS GULCH AND HELENGON.
More imaginary or created names, please.
SeeYou190More fictitious names, please.
I asked my brother to do the artwork for a number of decal sets that I wanted made by Rail Graphics, to honour a departed friend. I had canvassed my fellow modellers in my "home" forum, and had enough sets made for all who were interested, selling them at cost.
The response was excellent, as he was well-respected, and I made certain that I had a good representation of his planned, but never realised, rolling stock....
doctorwayneMore fictitious names, please.
Wayne's last picture was GERN, so I will add to the GERN goodness, after all, if it is GERN, it has to be good:

SeeYou190He didn't like it because I split the roadname off onto both sides of the door.
Don't dispair. He voted down my diamond emblem, too.
NWP_1a by Edmund, on Flickr
His request was to have a diamond with a bar through it. I was sort of inspired by the old Illinois Central Green Diamond.

Yes, he once asked for suggestions on how to use such a long roadname on a freight car, so I painted one up as an example.
He didn't like it because I split the roadname off onto both sides of the door. He also did not approve of my changing of the reporting marks from NWP/SWP to NSWP.
SeeYou190More of the fake names please.
