"You're thinking of Reg Biladoux (spelling?) I'm sure a few of the
older members will remember him and his models, all of which were exquisite."
May 28-31, 1976.One of the best NASG conventions ever. Dick Arthur, Reg
Belodeau and so on.
Ottawa, what a beautiful city. I captured most of the convention on slides!
Reg had a large Round House, each door opened and closed independently.
Reg had a impeccable machine shop in his basement and scratch built a
locomotive that ran on its own, on some kind of a wood block. I believe it won
and award. He was into automation, saw mills, saloon with piano playing and so
on.
Dick Arthur placed a movie camera on a flat car and made a movie of his layout.
Then decided that he wanted sound, so he made a sound track and attached it to
his movie film. Imagine that, and by hand! For you newbie's ... Dick Arthur was
a S Scale legend in those days. Bobbie, if you have that movie film, please get
it transferred over to a disk. Most likely 8mm.
The Constitutional Convention, Ed Schumacher was president and my American
Flyer Geep and Caboose won First Place for its 200th Centennial year paint
scheme. Tsk! Tsk! I repainted American Flyer equipment!
"S"ee Ya,
Bill
