I don't hate the NMRA at all. If it wasn't for them shutting down the
manufacturer's hall in the 2003 Toronto Convention because of the SARS
scare, the Canadian Association of Model Railroaders (CARM) would never have
been started. So, out of something potentially negative, a positive emerges.
The CARM recently sent out a poll as to what Canadian modellers want most in
the way of models. It was quite thorough and covered rolling stock,
building types and motive power including eras. It was well received and
forwarded to the leading Canadian manufacturers. Unfortunately, the largest
number of respondents were HO of course and not really applicable to S.
Perhaps, given what Bill said, the NASG could include an all-inclusive mail-
in poll in the next Dispatch. Online is okay but it does not reach everyone.
