Jim,
I'm probably speaking out-of-turn, but as I look at the NASG 2009
schedule, both Thursday and Saturday are "Dealer Hall" days. That
would knock dealers out of the Manufaturer's Railway Tour and Layout
Tour #2 (those two tours are mutually exclusive as well) on Thursday.
On Saturday, Layout Tour #4 and the shortline yard tour are likely
non-options if you're a dealer. Looks to me like the
manufacturers/dealers are expected to be behind tables on those days
for NASG members. Whether Joe Q. Public is admitted doesn't really
change that.
