I'm hoping that the collective might be able to help with a dilemma that I'm currently facing. As some of you already know, my day job is producing 7mm and 1/32 models in both kit and RTR form. A number of my customers have said, recently, that the name of my company name doesn't reflect the range of products that we produce. Also I have found out recently that there is another company operating with a similar name, selling second hand railways on a well known auction site.
The company name is currently Furness Railway Wagon Co/Pre-Grouping Railways. The Furness Railway Wagon Co was where I started 21 years ago. I have been trying to shed the Furness railway part for a few years now. Mainly because "I don't do Furness, its to far north!" Even through there is a big picture of a Cornish china clay wagon on our show banner. I have attached a link to our website. Pre-grouping Railways From Furness Railway Wagon Company
So my questions are:

So my questions are:
- Should I change the name of the company to better reflect the nature of the range and what is in in the pipeline?
- If yes has anyone got any suggestions to what I should change it too?
