LIVE! From the NNGC 2015

Unread postby Jason Rose » Wed Sep 02, 2015 10:06 am

I'll be posting "live" photos from the National Narrow Gauge Convention as time permits. I'm using an iPad, so the quality isn't great.

More later...

Thanks Jason,
Being a narrow gauge modeler myself, I have always wanted to go to one of these conventions. You have made it possible for a lot of us unable to go to be there by proxy. Thank you for taking the time and using your photographic prowess to share the convention with us, this is going to be great. Thanks again, Steve.

Agree 110% with what Steve said. I've truly enjoyed the videos you have posted, as well as the pictures you are now posting. Let's hope the convention is a great success -- one day I will make it to one of them. Thanks Jason for the time and effort in documenting them, and to those that have the passion and drive to create these magnificent layouts, it's just amazing to me. I unfortunately have never had the patience to model in the detail needed to create many of these layouts that have been shown.

Glad y'all enjoyed the photos. I had a few hours to kill and that worked nicely.

Will post more later.

Great photos Jason, brings back memories of the Pasadena Calif. show we worked a few years ago. We sold 11 Friends memberships, I expect you guys to BEAT THAT! :flame: How did you get Marshal and Mary Jane there on such short notice?

No idea. Tim told me last week that they were manning the booth along with Carl Olson. Wish I could help, but my plate is pretty full. Mary Jane has my cell number (and Brian Jansky's) so she can call when they need some backup.

There are at least a dozen Friends here. Probably a lot more. My number is based on people wearing Friends clothing.
