I have been building my layout the past 4 years and have yet to name it. Although I say I model UP I'm really a closet freelancer. I like to operate the following railroads UP, SP, DRG&W and BNSF 1970's to present. I run mainly grain (my layout has a grain terminal) with through traffic and a future intermodal terminal. Here is the challenge Have a good look at my website then see if you can think of a name for my layout. The winner will get his name on my site for naming it and will have total access to the layout providing he can aford the airfare lol unless GATS chooses it but he already has access lol. good luck ------------------ Regards Paul #1-Moderator & Member number 50 SPAD Investigator #1 ICQ 61198217 http://users.bigpond.net.au/railroad2000

Well, if you want to keep an American theme, may I suggest "Union Pacific- Sydney Subdivision"? ------------------ Southeast....Southwest.. Ship IT on the Frisco! Bob T. Member # 362 http://hometown.aol.com/slsf1630/myhomepage/profile.html
How about the "UP and Southern" or the UP and Devil's Gate"?? I'll probably come up with others, but these are just off the top right now. By the way, I don't remember if I complimented you on your site and layout but they are both GREAT!! Happy Modeling!! John ------------------ The Santa Fe and Southwestern, Chief of the Southwest!!

Since you're about as far away from Connecticut and still be on the planet, I would be happy to share my road's name with you: Delaide Laight & Wrekked Say it out loud, you'll get the idea. ------------------ When in doubt, empty your magazine. Member #33

Pat, I'd have to say the layout is based on a town that has gran terminals and a large yard. I was thinking somewhere in the mid west or closer to Chicago. As I said I run mainly UP, SP and DRG&W. The are needs to have a 2% grade. ------------------ Regards Paul #1-Moderator & Member number 50 SPAD Investigator #1 ICQ 61198217 http://users.bigpond.net.au/railroad2000
With all that GM power how about naming it" Union Pacific's General Motor's Testing Facility" ? Ha! Great layout, Best Wishes on the naming process and may you always run in the black.
Union pacific's Midwestern Route or Union pacific & Midwestern or Union Pacific's Grangier Sub-Division I'll email you some more when I think of them I have my own layout to work on!

Pat I really like the sub-division scenario and like Johns- Devils Gate so how does Union Pacific Devils Gate Sub-division sound? named after the notorious train wreck on Devils Gate bridge when a UP Bigboy careered out of control and crashed on the downhill grade. ------------------ Regards Paul #1-Moderator & Member number 50 SPAD Investigator #1 ICQ 61198217 http://users.bigpond.net.au/railroad2000
Paul, I think that is an excellent choice (and not just because part of it came from me either...I really do like it )!! Happy Modeling!! John ------------------ The Santa Fe and Southwestern, Chief of the Southwest!!

I'm considering naming my layout Union Pacific-Council Bluff subdivision as I live in Kearns and Kearney is a town in Nebraska that UP passes through. My layout loosely depicts that area where grain is the main commodity. also not far from Kearney is the Sidney subdivision since i live in Sydney it has a little familiarity. ------------------ Regards Paul #1-Moderator & Member number 50 SPAD Investigator #1 ICQ 61198217 http://users.bigpond.net.au/railroad2000
Perfect Paul! The only missing part is a Trackage Rights through Iowa via Des Moines and Davenport, to reach Chicago, and thereby meet the CEE line. Now NARA cover the midwest also. Great! ------- Helge Sandy River & West Forrest
Hmmmmm, How about "The Union Pacific's North Platte Subdivision ? Sounds Good to me! ------------------ CSX and HO Scale The Newark Branch RR Ship it the good 'ole way, BY RAIL The Newark Branch Railroad
