Hi all,
Down here in Australia, we have a company called ‘Arnotts’ that produces some of the best chocolate biscuits. As I was helping myself to one this morning, I noticed that their slogan is ‘There is No Substitute for Quality’, and thought that this could apply to Kato, Atlas and Intermountain, to name a few. I was wondering, are there any other non-model railroad company slogans out there that could be applied to a model railroad manufacturer/retailer?
Cheers,
tbdanny
Ford used to say “Quality is job one.”
How about:
“Acme, we’ve upped our standards, now up yours!”
My Model Railroad’s slogan is, “We’ll get there sooner or Later”. That would work for several companies that announce a new loco and then deliver it 5 or 6 years later…[:-^]
[(-D] I love it JW.[:D][(-D][swg]
I think I’ll have to use that on my “Standard Plumbing Supply” warehouse.
Thanks, that just made my day. It doesn’t take much, does it ???
Johnboy out…
Rather than “Standard Plumbing” you could try this - a block from my old house was a small cinderblock building with the company name “Annis Plumbing” on it. I never checked, but always wondered if it was a long “A” at the beginning.

Hi Stix,
We also had a man here in the city who had a service station. His family name was Assman.
You may have seen him a couple years ago on the Late Night Show with Letterman. Dave made quite a deal out of this guy from the Canadian Prairies with this name. SO… maybe I should change the name of my Plumbing Supply to that. What do you guys think ???

“WE ARE RAISING OUR STANDARDS — UP YOURS TOO”
Johnboy out for now…
Will, one of the ones people use to make fun of fords could apply to Tyco: Found on roadside dead
JW, that’s a good one
Ray, very true on that one. I had to wait a good 2 or so for my F45
I’m suprised none of the manufactuers have tried this one: “Nothing comes close”
That’s funny about the plumbing company, but you do not want to see the plumbers bottom line! [:-^]
Meanwhile, back at the outhouse, things are piling up… [(-D]
I LOVE TIM-TAMS!
Go to your basket—Putsi!![(-D][(-D]
Things can get quite oderous around here----[:-^]
Judge: You’re here to change your name?
Assman: That’s right your honor.
Judge: What is your name?
Assman: Larry Assman
Judge: Yeah. I can see why you’d want to change that.
Assman: Yes sir, its been a problem all my life.
Judge: So what do you want your new name to be?
Assman: Steve, sir.

Stix , I thought you were going to say he said Harry.
Johnboy out…
Actually, if its gonna be a plumbing supply house, I think I’d make it:
“We’re number one so you don’t have to deal with number two.”
When I worked at Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia, their slogan was “We will build good ships, at a profit if we can, at a loss in we must, but always good ships.” A picture appeared in the company magazine from someone who had visited a distillery, Jim Bean, I think, who had a similar slogan substituting “whiskey” for “ships”. I do not know if either of these slogans has survived the turn of the 21st century. [;)]
