I think I have almost decided what to name my layout, it's just a case of deciding on the final word. The name of the complex where I live and where my trastero (store room) is located that houses my model railway is "CASTLE HARBOUR".

Therefore I thought I would name my layout one of the following :-

Castle Harbour International
Castle Harbour Interchange
Castle Harbour Exchange
Castle Harbour Junction
Castle Harbour Central

I think Castle Harbour International is the more appropriate as the layout resides on Tenerife but features British Outline trains and rolling stock. What do you think?.

much better are names like "Lazy Bottom" or "Tadger Town" or even "Smelly Bottom" while putting smiles on faces

You don't have to make up place names like these. There's a place on the outskirts of Orpington called "Pratts Bottom". In fact, the Orpington Model Railway Club's recent exhibition took place in Pratts Bottom Village Hall.

TDM - I like the Castle Harbour Something...it has a nice ring. No matter what the "something" ends up being, the Castle Harbour sounds sweet to the ears. Nice!
Spend as little as possible on what you need so you can spend as much as possible on what you want.

"Marine" was also used for some of the Ferry service stations - Dover Marine, Newhaven Marine ...
