55 years since thee first O Scale convention at Indianapolis

What a exciting time to be in O Scale and return to Indianapolis. The O Scale Nationals were born at Indianapolis in 1969, promoted by Corey Jones. Corey with help of his dad Vane became the early leaders in O Scale manufacturing. Vane and Corey were dedicated to promoting O Scale hobby by selling items long before we had Ebay and Amazon, even before cell phone.
The second national was at Indianapolis, with the third moving to Louisville, Kentucky and as we say; the rest is history. In 2016 we sponsored number 48 national. So with the first one being at Indianapolis, and the 48th being at Indianapolis, this has became a long standing tradition.
Many great changes have happened over the years. We've lost some of the old vendors and suppliers in O Scale but yet new ones are coming into the hobby. With coming age of technology, and 3-D Printing, a whole another world is opening up for O Scale.
Traditionally we had the show in September and again Dan and Amy did a combine show with O Scale and S Scale, and certainly carried the torch in promoting O Scale with there wonderful magazine/ online publication: O Scale Resources. Two of the rail leaders in O Scale.
With O Scale Central coming on strong and having a huge presence at all of the shows, and a online zoom meeting once a month, O Scale is absolutely a great place to be.
Recently we attended the RPM meet in St Louis. We had probably 75 people that had in depth discussions with our crew about O Scale. We had a great dis[lay with a portable layout and a huge presence O Scale Central. Nice to see so many people looking at loarge trains again.
The Indianapolis O Scale Show has been a tradition for over 55 years, so help me revive this show, and keep the tradition going.
The show is 6 weeks away. It is shaping up to being a great show. We so far have 65 tables sold, with 27 Vendors coming. Some of the Vendor include Bill Davis, with American Scale Models, Ted Schnepf, with Rails Unlimited, Andrew Sonderland with East Gary Car CO, Bill McConnell, with O Scale Turnouts, INC, Craig Smith, with Glass House Trains, Jim Canter, with Canter Rails Service, Larry Stanley with All About Trains and Fran Koch,. A complete list of Vendor will be posted on: indyoscaleshow.com website.
