Hi all --
I have to give it to the old heads amongst us. They have seen it all,
probably more than once. In another 20 years we can dig it up again, if
there are enough of us model railroad types still in existance...
Leave the dog lie where he is...
Happy New Year!

Name Change, yeah a great idea - phooey!
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!
