All,

 

Since sending this post the first time I had thought about some “after
convention” stops which might become a DIY layout tour. Including my layout,
there are 3 SCALE layouts in a ½ hour radius from me. That is a pretty high
concentration. My layout and the next closest to me are likely to still be
“plywood centrals” in a year without much scenery. The 3rd layout is small
but mostly has scenery. It was a former Lehigh Valley S Gaugers portable
layout with many Lehigh Valley buildings on it. Between Scranton and my
house is 1 more SCALE layout.

 

Because I have not discussed any of this with the other layout owners yet I
am keeping it anonymous for now. 

 

Thinking about how I would get here and to Scranton if I lived elsewhere and
such a tour happens, I would likely fly into Philadelphia and drive up to
Scranton (About 2 ½ hour’s drive). This way you would be in a vehicle able
to wander to the stops heading back towards your departure airport. I am
within about 6 miles of the Phila airport right across the river. It just
takes about 12 miles of driving to get there!

 

So this is some forward thinking… I am not against putting this idea in some
**possible**  convention events now. People seem to get motivated to work on
their layouts if a group is coming in a year to see it! If it happens great
– if not people just made good progress on their layouts! It’s all good!

 

Thank You,
Bill Lane
