Most buildings, businesses, Streets, Rivers & Lakes are names after family or close friends. I do a little at a time. I don't work on one section until it is done but work on a section for a little while then move onto another section. Some sections are more done then others. I have expanded my layout into the next room tunneling through the wall and am making it into a cayon with the tracks going along the river. This canyon is called Rock Canyon. The town of Midnightville is named after a black cat named Midnight that we had. The longest train I have ever ran on my layout is 4 Atlas engines (Santa Fe freight - blue & yellow), 40 different box cars ranging from a 35' car to a 70' refer car, and one Atlas Santa Fe caboose. Running my passenger train at about scale speed of 60mph it take almost 4 minutes to go around the layout, 70mph little over 3 minutes.
