2014 NMRA convention Cleveland, OH

I am glad it was a good show.  I hope that others will post more photos.  Were any new O gauge products announced?

Joe,


Unfortunately there were no new announcements for O scale models not even from Atlas. None of the standard O brass importers did this show as well. Problem is the NMRA has a notorious reputation for not supporting 2 rail standard O scale  but narrow gauge possibly, however, this could change.


MTH with Mike Wolf was there along with some nice 3 rail operating layouts. I give Mike Wolf credit for making a showing and supporting his part of the hobby.


 Now if you are into DCC which covers all scales of course there are updates to that from QSI and NCE both.There were hobby supply manufacturers like Woodland Scenics and Chooch attending which you do not see at the typical O scale shows that often unless it is the convention.

Unless all this changes for the bennefit of o scale you will have to rely on the o scale model internet websites and the shows for model information.

By the way addressing these issues is what we are trying to do with the O Scale Kings organization. Start paying attentionto their website form now on as changes are coming.Best Regards, Sam
