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.
Mark your calendars for August 5 - 9th, 2008 to attend The Mountaineer Limited - NASG 2008 Convention in Lowell, MA.
Our club will be hosting the event, so we have set up a special convention website where you can register and get all the information about the convention. Go to www.nasg2008.com to sign up early and win monthly prizes. The convention site has lots of information about things to do and places to see near the hotel and nearby areas. Also, put in your order early for the Convention Club car before they sell out!
Well, it's that time of year when most of us head over to the Big-E fairgrounds in Springfield, MA for the Amherst Railway Society Show. This year the show is scheduled for the weekend of January 26th and 27th. I believe we will be in our usual location in Young Building if you'd like to visit our layout and talk with club members.
We've had several new members join in 2007, so for some, this will be their first time attending the Springfield train show. It will certainly give them lots to talk about at our next club meeting.
The next club meeting is Februrary 16th and scheduled for Paul Riley's house located in Lynn, MA.
After February, our next show with be the Greenberg Toy and Train show March 29-30, 2008, held at the Shriner's Auditorium in Wilmington, MA. Click on the word, Schedule, in the heading above to see the other shows we usually attend and to see when and where our club meetings will be held.
Our January club meeting was held at the home of Chet Brown. We had a lot to talk about with the convention coming up later this year. We also inducted in a new junior club member, Matthew, who has been active with trains for most of his life. We hope he will be able to assist Mike Greene in further developing his layout. Chet, thanks to you and Jan, for the hot food and drinks you provided for us on a chilly January day.
