and he notes - Kent Singer tried this back in the 80s and a plethora of 'scalers' have tried it since. My suggestion is go ahead and try it and maybe, just maybe, the few hundred scale enthusiasts will support the organization. But to what end? A four page Dispatch? That's about all your dues (which would have to escalate more than the high point for oil prices) would afford.
The original goal of NASG was to unite S Gaugers not divide them. Claud Wade (one of the founders) had Flyer, so did Bernie Thomas, Gene Fletcher, Tom Coughlan and Frank Titman (to name a few). I can list countless modelers who used Flyer as a path to Hi-Rail and then scale (or a mixture of both). Don Riley was a 'wizard' at this). And we all know good modelers who use a mix of both. The organization as it is serves as a stepping stone to bring toy train operators into the realm of scale modeling. Take that away and they will have no goals to achieve. So go ahead - change the name if you want but when you do, please count me out!
