Ok so looking for ideas and want to have some fun with a new G Scale set-up I have so looking for a new line name.

Some details:

Home: Ledyard also on border to next town Groton

Street Name: Haley Road, goes into Colonel Ledyard Highway, Route 184 and Lambtown Road

Our names Ken and Kim

Would love to hear some suggestions...

Out here in the west, we name our ranches after our names.  Since my wife's name starts with a "J", we call it  "Lazy J" ranch, and our registered brand is "Lazy J Bar Swipe".

How about "2 Lazy K"...or just "Lazy K"....You could add a few ranch buildings, like the "Ponderosa".  Also  K - K  (K bar K ) is a common ranch name for Ken and Kim.
KK together is called "Double K Ranch". 

Hmmm, "Double K Railroad", kinda catchy.

Check out my thread, scroll down in the opening post to see the plan, name and brand.

Woodland Scenics has lots of letter and logo dry transfer decals.

www.microscale.com also has G gauge alphabet letters.  They will deal directly with you.  These would be decals rather than dry transfer lettering.

The Ks Line, I'm not good at these things, that's why I model existing lines like the ATSF mainline, or the something pass.

Whatever you choose, ask yourself if you think you will still like it five years from now.

John Allen regretted the "Gorre and Daphetid" in later years, but the fame had him trapped with it.

Well as long as I stay married the KK would work nicely...lol

This is off topic, but so funny.  What's in a name?  There was a woman here named Bea Beaver.  She had two daughters, named them Ima and Ura. I'm serious, they have great personalities and love the attention. Well, it's better than naming a boy Sue.
