Hi group,

Will there be any Z-Bend modules at the 2012 NTS in Grand Rapids this year? It's close enough that I'd like to bring my modules and participate.

Thom Welsch

The answer appears to be NO!!!!!

A sad commentary on Zers out there. Not too many years ago we had a very impressive show of Z in Cincinatti. Its a real shame we can't get anyone at all to Grand Rapids.

Ellen, maybe you and Thom can show the advantages of Zbend to all those Z scale Michiganders that are sitting on their hands. Its too bad. I know theres a large group of them.

I agree with Ellen and Thom. It's really sad. Cincinatti was impressive and so was Anaheim. I am committed to Z, although I do not have any modules (yet). I have a small layout that is dedicated to running at shows and a T-gauge layout. The T-gauge is so that when people look at my Z and say "That's so tiny" I can point to the T and say, "No it's not, THAT'S tiny."

The economy isnt what it was like for those shows either. What's sad is there is noone throwing around airfare and lodging at the show location and re-imbursement for lost wages during the show.

Frankly your emails make as much sense as mine.

Ted,

We almost never get paid one red cent when we do shows. I realize that not everyone can afford to do shows but I would never expect any show promoter to pay airfare, lodging and lost wages for me to display at their show.

Thom

I was being sarcastic.

My point was that there are many more reasons than "not wanting to promote Z anymore" that prevent one from exhibiting at a show. Which it -sounded- like you were implying.

I should have kept my mouth shut. Kindly let this drop, or, if you must, reply offine.

Sincerely,

Tedlamar@...
