The Bristol S Gauge Railroaders are dedicated to S scale (1/64 scale) model railroading. Formed in 1948, we believe we are the longest running S scale club in America!
Members are interested in most branches of S scale, including, but not limited to, Scale, Narrow Gauge (Sn3 and Sn2), Hi-Rail, and American Flyer operating and collecting. Our major goals are to learn from each other and have fun doing it.

The NASG 2008 Convention in Lowell, MA is over and the Mountaineer Limited has returned to Lincoln, NH. So many attendees spoke with Bristol club members during the week's activities and expressed appreciation for a great convention. We hope everyone who came to Lowell enjoyed their time at the Convention! (cake photo by John Fucile) |
The Bristol S Gauge Railroaders would like thank all attendees, manufacturers, dealers, partners, tour operators, layout tour hosts, the Merrimack Valley Convention & Visitor's Bureau, the National Park Service & the Lowell National Historic Park, the Lowell DoubleTree Hotel and all of our suppliers for their support of the 2008 National Convention. Without it, the 2008 Convention would not have been possible.
Thank you all!
Some convention videos and photos have been made available. Please check these links to see many of the tours and other activities at the convention. We hope to be posting more convention photos and links as they become available.

Our September 2008 meeting was held at the home of Club President, Tommy Robichaud. We had a large turnout to hear some Convention results from the NASG 2008 Convention Chairman, Doug Peck. Also, Tommy usually puts out lots to eat, including his "famous" beef chilli, so we could feast while we heard the reporting. This meeting was an opportunity to give out plaques of appreciation to the club members who opened their homes for layout tours during the convention and the Sunday Open House event after the convention.
September kicks off our calendar year for the club. So at this meeting we discussed future shows we may be attending and we started our list for future club meeting locations. Our first show coming up this month is September 20 and 21 at the Newmarket Heritage Festival in Newmarket, NH. Hope to see you there!
