22-3 17:30:51 DAZed Thom, thanks for your efforts.
22-3 17:30:35 ejshelton I understand you feeling like something is wrong
22-3 17:29:59 rvn2001 I keep checking the NTS web site for updates...exhibitor list and floor plan.
22-3 17:28:11 ejshelton And some unusual....
22-3 17:28:08 rvn2001 Yes, Mike all 10 of the people besides me are people who plan to run Z scale trains.
22-3 17:27:51 GNFan So "the usual (Z) suspects".
22-3 17:27:20 rvn2001 Chad from Texas and John and his group from the Carolinas are planning to bring Z-Bend track layouts.
22-3 17:27:07 GNFan So 10 Z folks. Got it.
22-3 17:26:25 rvn2001 Yup
22-3 17:25:54 GNFan Thom, that's 10 other Z people (who would seemingly cooperate on ZBend- or T-Trakish- modules) or other scales entirely.
22-3 17:25:52 ejshelton Interesting...
22-3 17:25:04 rvn2001 I saw on Facebook that the NMRA is still looking for vendors.
22-3 17:23:10 ejshelton I understand how frustrating this is.
22-3 17:22:39 rvn2001 I am running 4 Z scale trains today.
22-3 17:20:57 rvn2001 It wouldn;t be so bad if it was just me, but there are 10 other people wanting to display.
22-3 17:19:54 ejshelton Try not to hold your breath Thom.
22-3 17:18:49 rvn2001 I guess we'll have to wait and see.
22-3 17:17:32 ejshelton But it doesn't seem like they do
22-3 17:16:33 rvn2001 I don't think so, Ellen. They should still have someone to call in his absence.
22-3 17:15:49 ejshelton Just wondering if he might be sick.
22-3 17:15:48 DAZed I've missed a couple of weeks...aside from the current NTS discussion, has there been any big news amongst the group?
22-3 17:15:27 ejshelton There were several dealers very upset. My not being there cut into their Z sales
22-3 17:15:19 rvn2001 I suspect, if there's a problem, it's with Bill and not Monroe.
22-3 17:14:43 GNFan That's understandable, Ellen. You're a pretty suspicious character. ;-)
22-3 17:14:33 ejshelton I'm wondering if Monroe is OK?
22-3 17:14:08 rvn2001 I usually get a call from Monroe Stewart, a volunteer.
22-3 17:13:54 ejshelton He kept me out of a show in Indy
22-3 17:13:39 GNFan So the lack of communication falls to him/GTS.
22-3 17:13:13 rvn2001 He kept us out of one of his shhows because he wanted to give other groups the opportunity to display....not Z scale groups, though.
22-3 17:12:48 ejshelton Yes he can...
22-3 17:12:08 rvn2001 He can be an a$$hole!
22-3 17:11:48 ejshelton OUCH
22-3 17:11:22 rvn2001 It used to be run by volunteers. Now it's being run by Bill Grove, GTS.
22-3 17:10:56 GNFan such as GTS..
22-3 17:10:31 GNFan NTS is run in conjunction with a given NMRA convention. But who runs the NTS? I didn't think it is NMRA (volunteers?) but rather a show running outfit such s GTS, yes?
22-3 17:10:23 ejshelton Cool
22-3 17:09:15 rvn2001 I'm working on my fantasy MoPac Pacific.
22-3 17:07:36 ejshelton I hope that's it as well
22-3 17:05:49 rvn2001 I'm really hoping that they're just running really behind in notifying groups.....
22-3 17:05:13 GNFan Well, that's not a confidence-builder.
22-3 17:04:48 DAZed HowdyZ Thom, Mike, Ellen
22-3 17:04:38 ejshelton Hi Doug
22-3 17:04:31 GNFan Hi, Doug.
22-3 17:04:12 rvn2001 Hi Doug.
22-3 17:03:38 GNFan Hi, Ellen.
22-3 17:03:31 GNFan Hi, Thom.
22-3 17:03:23 rvn2001 I still haven't heard whether were in or not.
22-3 17:03:04 ejshelton Hi Mike
22-3 17:02:57 GNFan Worrying, Thom?
22-3 17:02:54 ejshelton I understand...
