Hi -- If Bill F. does make the convention, you will meet one of the nicest guys in the hobby (and he usually has chocolate bars with him!). Just don’t ask him for directions around Baltimore...
Yes, Brooks strikes again. Good article, especially if you are looking to get certificates from the NMRA. Speaking of such things, I need someone who has access to all kinds of model railroad magazines to act as a collator of S articles in non S specific publications. Every year the NASG tries to recognize a person or persons who have made a contribution to the scale by their writings in publications that go to the general public or to other organizations like the historical societies or the NMRA. Lee Johnson has been doing this task for years, but has relinquished his position, and unfortunately I do not have access to a wide variety of publications here in the outback of AZ. If you are interested, please contact me off list. Have fun!

I find it surprising that no one has mentioned Brooks Stover's, "Modeling the BC&G's Dundon Shops in Reverse," in our August 2011 NMRA magazine. This is an excellent article on preparing a scene for Brook's "Prototype Models Certificate" NMRA Achievement Program which helped Brooks become one of our few Master NMRA Model Railroaders last year. His BC&G in on the magazine cover and it also has a five page well done article inside. (Very concise) The NMRA has been turning out a very fine monthly model railroading magazine in recent years. Thank you, Brook's! Regarding conventions; I have never attended a model railroad convention that I didn't like, or that I didn't learn something new, or that I didn't make/meet new friends. I haven't made our recent NASG conventions due to family health problems, but do hope to be at our NASG convention in 2012. I for one, recommend you going to our NASG conventions, especially if you are serious about S Scale modeling. You will never regret it!
