Is It...Or Isn't It? - MountainMan - 09-15-2011
I was just reading the Sep-Oct N-Scale magazine (Yes, Virginia, there IS an N-scale magazine - several, in fact!) and something on the cover caught my eye.
The cover photo is a trackside industry, bueatifully weathered and served by both truck and rail. The company is named Gamble-Robinson, but the name is painted on the side of the building thusly:
GamblE
RobinsoN
Is this a secret reference to GERN, or merely a coincidence?
Who know... 8-)

Gamble - Robinson was a real company.Funny how I never noticed the cap letters till MM said something about it. Do you suppose Dan Lewis MMR is a member here? He is a huge Milwaukee fan. :mrgreen:

I truly doubt if Gamble - Robinson lettering has any thing to do with the fictitious GERN(whatever that is) since GERN is a forum fun thing..

Spoil sport! 8-)
Are you absolutely sure, given that forum members are scattered all over the world?

Come to think of it you might have a point.

Hmmmmm, now that you mention it, StarFleet manual indicates that GERN glass is also 3% more compatible with transwarp drive.
