Gordon Hope - Founder
With nearly 30 years of experience at Honeywell in the demanding world of Commercial and Residential security systems, Gordon was at the heart of the marketing and development activities of many of the core security systems protecting life and property. Product offerings included burglary and fire control solutions as well as many of the applications used on PCs and smart phones to control them. Because of the demanding nature and harsh environments of these systems, Gordon was steeped in delivering high quality products that operated in various conditions of heat and humidity. Many of the products have lasted decades on the walls of commercial building and homes. Gordon now takes his experience in marketing and his love of model railroading to help conceive and refine model railroading solutions that will work for years while being easy to install by any level of model railroader. Â
