More please.

Looking forward to more pictures from this great event. Also looking forward to more reports on the use of sponsor Nano Oil. Bringing the draw down on a engine like that is awesome. The smaller motors in some of these steam engines could be made to pull so much more and run so much smoother on any track work. Thomas G.

Graham, you really should start a new thread.

Your title and question have absolutely nothing to do with the subject of this thread.  If a few more people comment on the Narrow Gauge Convention in Seattle without looking at your question, your post will disappear to the back page.

WOW !!! Thanks, Joe

All those pics of the Convention - terrific. What a Bonus - some of those are absolutely breathtaking. Many are well focused, centered and high res.

2012 Narrow Gauge Convention

Thanks for being part of our recent Seattle/Bellevue 32nd National Narrow Gauge Convention. Your article and coverage was fabulous, and I want to personally thank you for the thoughtful photographs you included of my Puget Sound Iron Goat Rwy home layout. We are blessed with so many fabulous layouts here in the Pacific Northwest and I'm honored you selected my layout as one of those you included in your pictorial. I always look forward to your super publication. JJ Johnston

I'd like to see more Eastern

I'd like to see more Eastern narrow gauge. Everything in narrow gauge is primarily geared toward Western roads. But the East had it too, and I wish the hobby reflected more of that. WV, VA, TN, GA, NC, SC all had narrow gauge roads. Why don't we see more of them?

It's Appy, I'm happy!

Not many models out there. Means you need to build your own. Who has time for that? Me.

It all gets back to market size

It all gets back to market size - for the eastern NG roads, you sell less because they're less popular.

So that means modeling the eastern roads means you have to build more yourself.

Say what you will about ready-to-run, my contention all along has been more layouts get built because of ready-to-run ... and with the proto-faithful movement being popular, that means more scratchbuilding to supplement the ready-to-run stuff on the proto layouts that use RTR. You'll never be able to *buy* everything for a proto-faithful layout.
