Several of us in the Lehigh Valley area are planning to be open on the Wednesday before and/or the Sunday after the convention. This includes myself and I need to keep building and avoid wasting time on the computer.
I'm starting to feel like Lee. I finished a dual gauge (S/Sn3) turnout this week and have two more in progress. All hand laid in place along with spiking lots of rail (2 spikes per rail per tie). And I have a lot more track to do. I couldn't make it to the LVSG meeting on Sunday because of a community orchestra concert I played in, but I did help Bert Mahr run trains on his layout during his open house on Saturday. Not a lot of visitors but usual comments about a nice size and not knowing there was so much available in S. Plus some younger visitors with their father or grandfather, which is always encouraging. Bert says next November, it's my turn.

We got to talk to Jamie about the 2013 NASG Convention in Scranton. When Lee Rainey offered to be open to folks traveling to the convention, I thought I might do that as well. I'm close to the PA Turnpike and I-81 which are main routes that folks might be taking. For tour purposes, I'm an hour west of Bill Fraley's and it might be a bit too far for a bus tour." Just to avoid future confusion, my suggestion was to be open the Sunday following the convention. And I see Jamie has now posted that to the nasg.org website. So I need to keep building. I assembled 5 turnouts over the weekend -- and I feel kind of like the workmen that laid ten miles of track in one day on the Union Pacific ! Lee Rainey
