Title: 2021 National Narrow Gauge Convention in Hickory, NC
Post by: NEMMRRC on September 05, 2021, 02:13:14 PM
Greetings one and all and welcome back to another National Narrow Gauge Convention. In 2021 it was held in Hickory, NC and I am very glad I attended. I am a bit rusty on this whole forum posting business let alone NNGC postings. The last one I attended was in 2018 in the twin cities in Minnesota.


Here is a photo of the Best Of Show at Hickory, NC. The model was scratch built by Don Railton.

This year I opted not to lug around a heavy DSLR and instead made pretty much all my photos with my iPhone. Therefore, this is going to prove interesting. I'll post more photos as I get them all together. If you want to review past conventions please head on over to my website www.narrowperspective.com (http://www.narrowperspective.com) for a look.


Later.

Hi Bob.
Don Railton's work is quite distinct. His "signature" is evident so perhaps that is why there is a familiar look to it. Or maybe this model has appeared elsewhere. I've been out of the "loop" for a while so I may have missed it if featured elsewhere. Pretty cool model nonetheless.

Sure did miss you at the show. There were some really nice layouts on tour. I managed to make it to 3 super nice ones. I'll get to those later.

Here is the Favorite Train category. I must confess this is not at all my favorite category out of all the contest categories. The reason why is these are hard to photograph due to their length. It's hard to get all the train in one frame and when you do there is so much other noise around the main subject. Nevertheless, here is the Second Place winner, Tom Sullivan.

I am searching high and low for the first and third places and well, my silly iPhone doesn't always transfer all the photos in order to my laptop. Oh well, it's just toy trains. I'll sort it all out eventually.

Thanks so much Jamie for your time to post these great photos for those of us who couldn't make it to the convention.  8)
Maybe one day the whole forum will join up at one of these shows and have a good time together.

Here is a small break from the regularly scheduled program.


I am a H U G E fan of Malcolm Furlow. I was tickled pink the I saw a built up entry of Malcolm Furlow's Saratoga Mine at the contest room. It was built by Kevin Kuzman. Kevin did an amazing job. When I first joined the hobby I used to drool over Furlow's work in the magazines. The next best thing would have been to have met Furlow himself at the convention. Maybe one day....


Here are some photos of the Saratoga Mine.

My notes say this is the Motive Power category. However, during the awards ceremony they called it the Internal Combustion category. Oh well, it's just toy trains after all.

Thanks, as always, for the effort Jaime. Your photos are always much appreciated.


That Saratoga Mine certainly seemed familiar but I couldn't place it until you made the Furlow reference. Malcolm Furlow and Lou Sassi are two of my all-time favorite modelers...any work by them (or directly inspired by them) always goes directly in the "Save" file. Glad you were able to make it to the NNGC and I hope see you in Tacoma next year.

I was thrilled when I saw the Saratoga Mine in the contest room. Hope to see you in Tacoma.

Thanks for the pictures Jaime. It's certainly good to see you back in the roll of documenting these events for those is us who can't travel. Jim
