42nd National Narrow Gauge Convention – less than 2 weeks away

By Robin Peel

The 42nd National Narrow Gauge Convention is less than two weeks away! It will take place from September 1-4, over the Labor Day weekend, at the Hotel Murano in downtown Tacoma, WA. This is a national – international – convention being held in our backyard, sponsored by 4D, and it is NOT just for narrow gauge modelers – we will have 60 clinic sessions, many of which will appeal to standard gauge (and armchair) modelers, too!

The star of the show will be the Hangman Creek Lumber Company modular layout, which will be operating adjacent to our registration desk. This outstanding On3 layout won “Best in Show” at our 2012 National Narrow Gauge Convention (in Bellevue, WA), and has been extensively refurbished since then. It is a great opportunity to view this layout one more time, along with three other great display layouts (two On30 and one HOn3). Details of each are on our website at:

Standard registration for the full, Thursday – Sunday convention is $150, including a free spouse pass, but we are offering a special one-day rate for local modelers for $50 (available only on the day, at the registration desk) that will give access to all convention activities that day (clinics, contest viewing, vendor room, modular displays and 34 home layouts).

We are looking forward to seeing you in Tacoma in just a few days! Head to our website for full details.

42nd National Narrow Gauge Convention is here in Tacoma in 5 weeks!

We will be hosting a national (international) convention within 4D’s territory in September – the 42nd National Narrow Gauge Convention will be held in Tacoma over the 2022 Labor Day weekend, at the Hotel Murano in downtown Tacoma.

This convention is hosted by many local narrow gauge modelers, and sponsored by 4D. We will have 70 clinic sessions, a vendor room, modular layouts on display (including the wonderful Hangman Creek), contest, and tours to 35+ stunning local layouts (standard gauge AND narrow gauge). You don’t need to be narrow gauge modeler to enjoy the show – and many of the clinics will appeal to standard gauge modelers in any scale.

Registration for the four day convention is $150, but for local attendees a special one-day pass will be available for purchase at the door for $50. You can find all details on the convention website at www.seattlenngc.com. Looking forward to seeing you in Tacoma!
