These are all great ideas for promoting S. The main obstacle is financing.
There have been a number of recent really great promotions projects such as the
S sig, the new NASG website and last years S supplement to RMC.
NMRA recently reran an old editorial on the importance of local organizations
in promotions. While overall efforts to create an awareness of S are
necessary, it is the local personal approach that is needed to seal the deal.
There is nothing like seeing S in action at a train show or community event to
get someone into S. I applaud the many clubs and individuals that make the
effort to display S at these gatherings. A number of promotional materials are
available free from NASG for handout at shows.
I know that in some clubs, there is a very low percentage of their members that
are members of NASG and/or NMRA. I would suggest encouraging club members to
join national organizations as this gives them a larger base for promoting our
hobby, especially in NMRA there are significant benefits to becoming a 100%
club.
