After long and hard thought for the last 14 years while building my layout, I finally arrived a what I feel a fitting named for my layout. I felt I would name it after my father and my father-in-law. I think the name works pretty well with the many railroads of the past. I call it "The L&E". The letters stand for Lewis and Edmond. My father gave me my first train a Lionel 2026 steam engine and cars for Christmas of 1950. I still have it today and it still runs and looks like new. I was only allowed to play with it when dad was home from work as it cost $28.00 for the set including transformer and track. My father-in-law worked at Cadillac and was the checker champ at lunch hour. So I thought
"The Lewis & Edmond R.R.
would be a nice tribute to two great men. I just want to come up with the right herald colors to go with the name. God rest them both.
