They will be getting canes with flashlights in the handle.

Maybe complaints about room lighting are just a symptom of our collective
aging and increasingly poor eye sight! <G>
I noticed a few folks in Scranton carrying small LED flashlights and I
believe Dan Navarre at River Raisin Models had one to light up fine detail on
his brass models to potential customers. Might be we should all start carrying
them. Personally I don't enter model contests, I'm not that good a modeler, but
in the future contest judges might be given a small LED flashlight as a token
of NASG's appreciation for their service and to just flat help them see. Sounds
like an idea that could be communicated to NASG's contest chairman - Monte
Heppe...
Bill, thanks for your kind words and congratulations to you, a well deserved
honor. I had the "pleasure" of spending 14 hours in a car with Sam McCoy
driving home. Let me tell you, he's a heck of a lot more fun chasing trains
ahead of a thunderstorm in Ohio! {GRIN}

developed a nice set of lights for lighting the contest models. Built on 8'
sections of half round (cut lengthwise) large diameter white PVC to provide the
light reflector. Worked pretty well I thought. They were passed on to the
Bristol Club for the 2008 convention and we passed them on to the next
convention. I am not sure where they are now. But I thought it was nice that
nice models got better lighting...
