Maybe someone who is actually involved in the planning of the 2026 convention can fill us in on their plan for handling non-members interested in 'checking out' S. As it stands right now, when you go

Although a possible downside is that the crowds could be so large that it was difficult to get around, I think that is highly unlikely. Three upsides -- we might attract some S gaugers who are not

Andrew, The idea wasn't to make NASG conventions "all-scale".? It is to encourage non-NASG members to attend our all-S convention.? Where better to get a feel for S than to walk through our all-S

I attended my first NASG convention in Oak Brook (Chicago) waaaaay back in 1987.? Even attended the banquet.? I wasn't a member of NASG and nobody kicked me out...? I didn't join NASG until several

Chuck, HOn2 is not popular. Instead HOn30 is very popular. Bob Hayden and Dave Frary popularized it in the 70s and there are still modelers around the world. Recently Minitrains were reissued and

Gary Remember the PA-2 I bought from you and you sent via USPS? Well it was a while getting here and if you recall the tracking was stuck “ in transit ‘ . I put in an inquiry with the USPS. Well

Our past (passed) friend, Charlie Sandersfeld of Omnicon Models, once suggested that first-timers to an NASG national convention should be permitted to attend free or with a steep discount.? The idea

Hi John -- American TT was 1/10" per foot. 2.54 mm is very close. Re: O standard gauge, see Chuck's Q and my Proto48 comments. You are correct about 1-1/4" . Of course, HO's 3.5mm / foot is a

Hi Chuck -- Nothing "wrong" there, but just as much as there is a "Q" scale, there is also Proto 48 with a nominal standard gauge of the track at 1-11/64" (if my math is correct!). All too fussy for

O27 is typically very undersized.? But most of the "regular O Gauge" Lionel and others sold was also undersized and not to scale.? Only the occasional item was scale such as the scale Hudson and

I would suggest that O27 is O gauge but is not to any scale. It is the true toy train system.

From my experience, in recent times, no one service is any better than the other! I sent a 9x12 envelope from near Milwaukee to near Toledo via USPS nine days ago and finally was able to get tracking

Please refer to what I linked.? Hornby states 120(2.54mm/ft).? Is this "true" TT or is it no good?? TT is whatever Hornby makes.? We don't make anything. Consider O.? US is 1:48.? Everywhere

In the past few months, I bought on Ebay pants, underwear(2), brass sheet(2), solder, socks(2), camera, drills(2), gas mask bag, waterpik parts, HO track(Germany), pens, HO brass engine, it goes on.?

This is one of the info panels I made for Scouting Merit Badge classes we do at our local railroad museum.? Each has a very brief comment.? If any seem wrong, let me know. Charles E. "Chuck"

Thank you and hello to Brooks.? My personal feeling,? for whatever it is worth, is that I like having our S scale groups and conventions confined to S scale.I am reasonably annoyed when I search
