The first person to volunteer his help was Jim FitzGerald and, in short order, he was putting out a newsletter. The idea of the modular portable displays has since spread to the other scales as well. The local clubs set their own by-laws and structure. Some have permanent quarters, regular meetings, and a dues schedule. Others just get together several times a year and assemble a layout for a shopping center or train meet.
Promotional material is available for club and individual use.
Throttles, power supply, and train detector signals are available for large layouts. Since 1977 the Newsletter has been published every other month. It is a place for N scalers to share their ideas. It features photo coverage of home and club modular layouts. There are articles covering new modular ideas and solutions for problems.
