Bill, If you've ever Googled "NASG", then you know about the North American Specialty?Glass right down the road from me in Trumbauersville. There's also Non-pneumatic Anti-Shock Garment, whatever that is. Jamie Bothwell A Little North of Trumbaurersville
Who are we and what do we call ourselves? ?? It's a question older
than time that probably started with "me not neanderthal; me
troglodyte!"
One poster mentioned that 'gauger' is an outdated term for our group
of 3/16 modelers.? Yea, I concur since "gauge" references distance
between rails.? Scalers would be a better term, but Flyer folks
might be offended.
Modelers is fairly generic, and even putting a flyer loco on the
track is working with a model, so it is inclusive.
So what do we need to do to get the NASG renamed to NASM? with the
word "Modelers" replacing "Gaugers"?
Rats, the plot thickens . . .? NASM is the National Academy of
Sports Medicine and is already used by them.?
So we go with NASMTM - National Association of S Model Train
Modelers.
But wait, some are just collecting stuff in boxes.? ? NASMTMAC it
is! ? National Association of S Model Train Modelers And
Collectors.??
With tongue still firmly secured in my cheek, I think you get the
point and will agree with another old adage, slightly modified . . .
you can please some of the people all the time, all of the people
some of the time, and none of the S folks at any time!!?
Y'all take care now, ya hear!? ;-)
Bill
