"G-Gauge may not RULE, But it GROWS  on YA  !! "         djc'99


p.s  over 11K attendees 2012  :)

Thanks for letting us know Doug. Have you listed this already in the trains.com events section? (it's free.)

Rene;

Thanks !

I personally did not post on the trains.com events page this yr. !

Left it up to a small scales person to do that  ;)

Focused primarily just on  G-gauge forum sites this yr. (and a little later this time)  nor did I send out my seemingly annual reminder to over 30 g-gauge product suppliers about ST ..done as a 'just-in-case' they were going to apply for boothspace or enhance their presence at a known attending vendor of their product).

Too bad though corp. Kalmbach can't seem to make it across the border yet  (and  acquire a booth at ST)  .. when ya have 11k attendees a lot of new exposure . . . . . 

 

Oh yeah,  also what I have fd. perplexing is when I see on a 'grocery' shelf like every periodical from Kalbach including a special edition buuuut no "Garden Railways" !!   I called Kalmbach/GR CS  and all the CSR gave back was a ohhh well attitude and I would not miss GR if I subscribed   lol !  I just reiterated that I was spending 10-15 min. calling to enlighten Kalmbach of a missing in their marketing .... shucks when a u.s. based international chain stocked GR (at our neighbourhood outlet),  all 6 units were sold within a week !!   Then their vendor decided unilaterally to cease stocking GR and even the store mgr could not 'force' them to reconsider ..... what do ya do when end users actually promote a product  but seemingly the manufacturer and their 'supply chain' loose the focus  of supply/promotion (ultimately the hobby) !

how to = SUPERTRAIN (2013) !

Are you referring to becoming "perplexed",  or  that  the links did not work for me  ?!   :)

Set-up tomorrow for the exhibitors  . . . a wake up,  and then  the attendees see all-scales 'rolling' down their tracks !

nite !

quick summary; record-breaking attendance, happy attendees and vendors, great yr. for aspiring shortlines with track needs plus . . . .
