    Is there a forum here for folks to post their private road names and schemes?

    Not at this time. It would be fun to see some folks posting about this right here.

    You could also look into our TrainBoard Groups area.

    Years ago I've read in Model Railroader an article about Farmrail. And they named their engines after Indian tribes.
    Physicist are for me more familiar. :angel:
