Gerald Henriksen Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 "A Fresh Look at O Scale" Next year (August 2018) brings the 50th O Scale National Convention, with the slogan "A Fresh Look at O Scale" The organizers are putting a lot of effort into re-invigorating O Scale with what amounts to a re-launch of the O Scale Convention along the lines of the annual NMRA conventions. One of the big speakers will be Tony Koester (see next section) The convention will be open to all - they are reaching out to all the various O Scale communities (3-rail, 2-rail, narrow gauge) - plus aiming to be welcoming to both newcomers and people interested from other scales. They also hope to make extensive use of social media to both create awareness of the convention and O Scale in general. Terry Terrence, co-chair, spends the first 20 minutes of Model Rail Radio #134 discussing both the convention and the current state of O Scale: http://www.modelrailradio.com/ Convention website: http://2018oscalenational.com/ Proto48 & Model Railroader Tony Koester is preparing a project layout serious for Model Railroader in Proto48. The series won't appear for at least a year, but the layout will make its debut at the 50th O Scale Convention prior to publication. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxcab Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Gentleman of Project O - it appears you have a golden opportunity! I don't think that we could get budget approval from the committee to take the layout & team to Baltimore ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielB Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Might it be worth speaking to the chaps in charge and try to run an O scale/gauge event here to tie in with it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakefield November 2018 should be the debut show for Project O as part of the 60 th year founding of the society so in theory there is something to hang it around 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
