For those able to arrive sometime on Monday, the Convention will kick off on Tuesday morning with The Notch Train excursion in the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire and our first layout tour of the convention on Tuesday evening.

On Wednesday the convention swings into high gear with a tour of the Mount Washington Cog Railway, our first Lowell National Historic Park tour, New Attendee Orientation, and on Wednesday evening the Bristol S Gaugers invite everyone to attend the Bristol Club’s 60^th Anniversary Reception.

Thursday the Dealer Hall opens and our clinic schedule kicks off, while our Tours include two more Lowell National Historic Park tours, two more layout tours, the Liberty Ride Tour to Minute Man National Historic Park, and the Boston Tour complete with the Boston Duck Boats, the Freedom Trail, the USS Constitution, and Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market.

On Friday, other convention activities will pull into a siding while attendees enjoy a special convention excursion on the Hobo & Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroads followed by a private guided tour of the restoration of the Flying Yankee. Clinics and the Dealer Hall will be back on the main line on Friday evening. 

The Saturday schedule includes more clinics, more time in the Dealer hall, our final layout tour (including George Sellios’ well known Franklin & South Manchester), and the NASG membership meeting. Saturday evening will feature the NASG Banquet (a buffet featuring NY Sirloin of beef, roasted breast of chicken and meatless lasagna), followed by the always entertaining, not-to-be-missed live auction.

For those with time on Sunday we anticipate some self-guided layout tours will be available.
