I just returned from the Third Annual Indianapolis S Show in Carmel, IN. Once again Charles and his Hoosier S Gaugers gang put on a good show. The NASG module was there again, and seemed to be a big hit with young and old. Another layout was there (I assume it was the Hoosier S Gaugers - I'm embarrassed I didn't confirm that) and I learned a very effective way of modeling late July corn from that. S-Helper Services consolidation was pulling a good sized train, and a sharp B&O passenger train was also putting in an appearance. The only clinic I attended was the depot building clinic - that alone was worth the 2+ hour trip, as I discovered an S scale depot that appears to be very similar to a Toledo & Ohio Central depot I've been planning on scratch-building. There were lots of models offered again, and Jay Williams was also there with photos. I also had the pleasure of my first 40 foot (S Scale) hot dog there as well.
I'd be interested to know who traveled the farthest to get there. I talked with a couple of guys from around Cleveland (over 300 miles away according to MapQuest). I have no idea of the number of attendees, but there appeared to be more than last year, and there was a good turnout then. Well done Hoosier S Gaugers!
