Promoting S Scale Model TrainsThese are some views of the

I don't have time to post all
the pictures a digital camera can take.
I was only there Wednesday & Thursday.
Hopefully others will post more.
Yes the 7 hour drive each way,
sometimes in heavy rain, made
the 2 days very worth while.

all,
went up to Lowell for Saturday of the NASG convention....nice little town.....
the models in the contest room were fantastic (hopefully someone else got
photos and will post)...there was a huge station shed complex with catenary, a
very interesting ice house diorama, and many others that were just over the top
modelling examples!
missed out on and RDC-1 for under $400.00, and stopped by Hoquat and S-Helper
and left some bucks behind with both of these dealers...
River Raisin had their SP steam locomotives on display (beautiful!) and their
Baldwin Sharknose diesels looked awesome (and unfortunately are just beyond my
budget.....).....
MLW had one of their CN pacifics all done up and running back and forth (looks
even better in person than it does in their ads and online!...and it runs well
too!!)
Grand River Models had their Middleton & Sons warehouse (kit#2) build, painted
and displayed, and it was awesome!!!!!
Des Plaines Hobbies also had bunches of goodies out for sale ...
I've probably forgotten a bunch of people (I do DC scale so a lot of the
American Flyer stuff just doesn't get a second glance from me... but there was
bunches of AF there!)
And the layouts seemed to run very well throughout the day.....
It was a 26 hour, 600 mile round trip to Lowell from Philly and back with a
quick 5 hour nap early Saturday morning in West Springfield, MA ...kind of
grueling, and really glad my fellow railroad club member Nick drove on I-95
(tooo many cars driving way tooooo close for me!)......
my first NASG.....it was worth it!
I am looking for some standard Baggage and RPO cars from the American Models 5
car sets,...... if anyone would like to part with them contact me off
list.....roadname not important, and would prefer scale wheels, but hi-rail/AF
are fine too....
