Gaylord: I could not agree more! I have held, I think, three open-houses for the Potomac Division of the NMRA, and I believe my layout will be on the tour in Fall 2013 for the NMRA regional convention. Also, for that NMRA convention, my layout may be one of the layouts available for sign-up operating sessions during the convention.
These interactions with the NMRA are not only a great way to show off our scale, but I always come away with many good modeling tips and observations from the NMRA members -- we have way more in common with modelers in other scales than we sometimes think. For example, at the November open house, one HO modeler was checking out my Shinohara turnouts that I have converted to be DCC-friendly -- he was excited to go back to his HO layout and try out the same techniques on his HO Shinohara turnouts!
