Thanks to all that attended and helped at the
2012 S-Fest!
Due
to your love for trains and the club the event was a success. Support like this
helps keep the 1/64th scale growing in avid membership and products! Lets all support
the next S-Fest as well and keep this trend going.
The Badgerland S Gaugers of the South Eastern Wisconsin just
hosted the
37th
Annual Fall S fest for 2012. As usual, we as local groups continue the long tradition of buying, selling
and swapping S-Gauge and S-Scale train equipment and related items, plus the traditional
clinics, tours, train races, friendship and much more. There was something for
everyone.
Commemorative Car: The 2012 Fall S Fest car
was a
40 foot SOO LINE gondola with a 10 piece container load. There was a choice
of two numbers on the car 2012 or a prototypical number. There was a
choice of colors on the containers, Black or Tucson. The decals for the
containers were supplied with the car and needed to be self applied.
S FEST GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY
2012 HOST
S-Fest is an annual event hosted by one of four S-Gauge / S-Scale
groups in
the Wisconsin, Illinois, and Missouri area. The Clubs take turn in providing layouts
sometimes using modules from some of the members of all of the groups. Due
to this S-Gauge / S-Scale specific event, there are many S-Gauge / S-Scale and 1/64 suppliers from many
states selling their merchandise at this event. Products available at these
annual events include American Flyer collectibles, new S-Gauge / S-Scale items,
controls, details, and items used for S-Scale narrow gauge.
A unique S-gauge collector series car is developed each year and they are for sale representing the year
of the event and the club that hosted
the event. A patch is also available for collectors and generated for those of us who
collect or wear them at
shows.
