The 36th National Narrow Gauge Convention was held in Augusta, Maine from September 7th through the 10th. There was a mix of Maine two-foot prototypes and models, along with clinics and the Manufacturer's/Vendor room. Most Convention activities took place at the Civic Center. There were three rooms full of modular layouts. I visited the WW&F, and the SR&RL prototype railroads, and several layouts. I am sharing a few pictures of the prototype and modular railroads.
