The S Scale steel mill layout is the work of Katharine and David Alley. Their layout was displayed at the opposite end of their HO clubs big layout. I suspect many who saw it thought it may have been ON30, but it is S. They are a very talented multiscale couple.
I didn't see an NASG booth either. Was there supposed to be one? I did see NASG prez Samual McCoy going around politicking for "S" though.
