On our way to choir rehearsal nearly twenty years ago, I asked my wife what we should name the pipe organ factory on our layout, as well as the  town, since the factory is the town’s sole industry. She thought a moment, then said “why not an organ factory that builds organs featuring sewer pipes?” We nearly drove off the road in laughter.

We altered the spelling to get a vague Germanic effect, as the great Bach organs were developed in eighteenth century Germany. The town could even be a German settlement. Thus was born “Sueher Pipe Organ Builders,” as well as “Sueher City.” Eventually, Sueher City bought the decrepit Southern Pacific branch freight line that served it, and it was immediately renamed “Sueher Specific Lines.” Our logo:  Sueher Specific Logo-roundSueher Factory-1Sueher Factory-2

Richard,

I love it and the story behind. It was clever to have the Deutsche history as well.  Where did you get the church I see in the background? Would that happen to be Lutheran Parish...you know Bach, German, etc.
