Re: {S-Scale List} NASG convention
Hi all; I've posted a few photos from the Lowell Convention. I need to reorganize them (and add a few more), but for now you can see them here: http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z29/nepete/ Eventually they will all be here: http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z29/nepete/NASG_2008/ I don't have a lot of info on who built what, but will be happy to update captions if you send me the information! This was my first NASG convention since New Brunswick in 1988. It was a good convention. Lots of vendors, although both American Models and 'S'cenery Unlimited were notable in their absence. Got to get to work, so more later. Pieter Roos william cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: all, went up to Lowell for Saturday of the NASG conventionnice 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!

What else can you say but WOW! The only problem is that Philippe's
models look more realistic than the prototypes!
An inspiration for us all.

{S-Scale List} All New S Scale Freight Car Arrives - not a major announcement though
While not a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT, this morning we received the all new 50' FMC single door boxcar. For the younger folks, this was one of the prototypes of the extremely popular and colorful IPD cars introduced in the 1970s and still earning revenue for their owners today. Like most of our recent releases, these cars come Flyer compatible, track ready out of the box. Easily replaced scale wheels sets are included as well for those operators. Kadee couplers are easily installed. There are SIX paint schemes available in Four different road numbers. They are Railbox (Yellow), MTW (Northern Green), Bath Hammondsport (Purple - the wine car), Chattahoochie Industrial (Gray), Maine Central (Orange), and TPW (Burnt Orange). Each car has seperately applied wire grabs, ladders, steps, and photoetched crossover walks. Also received in the same container are 3 more paint schemes on the FMC 5283 double door car that was introduced a few months ago. They are SSW-Cotton Belt (FCR), Ontario Northland (Stunning Blue and Yellow), and CRLE (Northern Green). Like the single door cars, 4 road numbers are available. Each car is $44.98. Shipping in North America is $10.00 per order. That means order one car the shipping expense is $10.00. Order 20 cars, the shipping expense is still only $10.00. Buy a lot and save a little. Preorders and dealer orders start shipping today as well. Ron Sebastian Des Plaines Hobbies/S Scale America 1468 Lee Street Des Plaines, IL 60018 1-847-297-2118 fax: 1-847-297-4976 Yahoo!

Re: {S-Scale List} NASG convention
Perhaps you could share what made the trip worthwhile. I've been to one NMRA
convention (1993) and must say that I didn't really get all that much out of
it. I enjoyed the layout tours, the national train show, and a couple of
clinics, but I never thought it was worth the trouble to do again. I will
admit that I'm not particularly gregarious. Was the dealer hall open to the
public like the national show? I would liked to have seen that, but didn't
want to pay $20 for the privilege.

{S-Scale List} NASG CONVENTION
Promoting S Scale Model TrainsThese are some views of the 2008 NASG convention. http://kulpritterpics.homestead.com/NASG08.html 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. Glenn NASG convention Posted by: william cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] billcwithonec Sun Aug 10, 2008 8:30 am (PDT) all, went up to Lowell for Saturday of the NASG conventionnice 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!)

{S-Scale List} Turnouts and freelancing
All -- Two questions were asked; here are my personal answers... Turnout jigs force one to always use the same size turnouts unless you have lots of $$ to invest in four or five pairs of jigs. Turnout jigs also produce cookie-cutter turnouts -- not always conducive to fluid, sweeping trackwork. I build turnouts in place to suit the situation. Generally I use prototype dimensions for frog, points, and length from point tip to frog point, but not always. Some of mine are curved. Some have tracks crossing through them. I have stated many times before that building crossings and turnouts in place is relatively easy -- often quicker than forcing a commercial turnout into special duty. I have given clinics on my methods and have written articles too. I freelance, sort of. The New York, Westchester Boston was a real heavy-electric railroad that competed with the NYNHH, was bought by the NYNHH, and was systematically dismantled (mostly) by the NYNHH. My railroad represents an alternate history in which the NYWB was not purchased. Instead it has become a dominant Northeastern railroad, causing the NYC/BA to reach Boston via NYWB trackage rights. The NYWB has two main lines that cross -- New York City to Springfield MA and then on to Boston, and NYNHH to Troy, NY and then on to Montreal. I model the portion where the two lined cross, sharing right-of-way for a few miles through Cornwall Bridge, CT. The New York-to-Springfield line is single-track anthracite steam with Wootten fireboxes (no diesels); the other line is double-track, electric only except for switching by steam (no diesels). I also model a few feet of the electrified Troy-Boston double-track main line, electrified of course. My setting is the 1940s-'50s. The New York Central and New Haven have trackage rights over portions of the NYWB. They are allowed to run diesels. Dick Karnes [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
