Hi All,
Just to follow up Jim's positive thoughts, I am glad to say that this year's
NMRA British Convention had an Sn3 display layout by Peter Woodland. I was not
able to attend myself but he kindly displayed some S-scale standard gauge
models
which I had posted over. In honour of the NMRA's 75th Anniversary year, the
British Region will also have a series of displays, including Peter
demonstrating S-scale, at the Warley National Model Railway Exhibition at the
Birmingham Exhibition Centre on 20th of November. These will expose S-scale, in
American Prototype, to a much larger cross section of Modellers. There will be
also be displayed, the USA Dock Tank #30064, courtesy of the Bluebell Railway,
at this exhibition, again to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the NMRA, a
great
honour at this, the largest UK Model Exhibition. Web site for this show is
www.thewarleyshow.co.uk.
I am sure that the huge efforts required to exhibit at shows all round the USA
and elsewhere will continue to bring new modellers, perhaps not completely to
replace those we sadly lose, but I am sure we will reach a level to continue to
sustain S-scale. I believe this is the main route to promoting the hobby, and
it
is fun as well!
