Gert – Chief Technologist
BS MIT, MA Harvard
Gert takes leadership of software, he makes the trains run on time. Each train, truck, building, and whole table top in our display areas run on Gert’s custom software and logic boards.
It is possible for a competitor to make a landscape display with two or three trains running on separate tracks. But it is a whole other skill set to make more than ten trains run on one large scale, integrated, server controlled, realistic table top display. Using our advanced technologies, we make 50-100 trains run on one table top at a time. It is a wonder, and one of the reasons customers pay to watch our table top cities run.
