Also, as Dick Karnes recently pointed out, NASG was created by scale
modelers not hi railers or AF guys and I have to assume they selected the
name.

That's what I tried to say recently. I agree with the sentiment in the
above, but it needs a little technical correction, if I'm not mistaken.
Some of those old timers (peace be upon them) I believe did use
AF-compatible track & wheel standards. But they were modellers. They took
whatever would work, frequently AF equipment, added & removed detail, and
modified it into cars, locos, &c, that more closely represented real RR
prototypes. This is real the dividing line in our Association - those who
try to model what they know of real RRs (irrespective of track & wheel
standards) - versus those who just want to accumulate a lot of a certain
quasi-defunct brand of toy train.
