GERN on my layout?

[ngauger]

You're right - you're missing it.. "GERN" is the joke.......

Anyone can join in - any structure with any product.. You MUST include, in the description of the product that GERN FLUX makes a product "3%" something... Flux helps Coal burn 3% cleaner, helps Grass grow 3% slower, Flux turns grass 3% greener etc...... Doctowayne explains the origin here:

Do a search (at very top of page) for gern... there are lots of pics and products!!

and in the Industries forum:

So the inside joke you were looking for technically doesn't exist, it's the industry itself that is the "fun"....

Also, there are numerous "Gauge Crates" on layouts...

numerous boxes and crates from our last board we were members of.. a few of us have them on our layouts as scenery or on cars.
