ASH & LJ Railroad Logo

Being an avid model railroader I felt it appropriate to name and design a logo for my layout. The ASH & LJ is named for my 3 children (ASH), my wife and my father who ignited my passion for railroads and model railroading and both share the same nickname (LJ). The use of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse signifies the support of my wife and that she has always been a guiding light in my life.
