Since 1985 there has been a G-scale National Convention, minus a few years, hosted by different G-scale Clubs around the country. Unfortunately, the Convention that was scheduled for 2024 is not going to happen. So, G-scale Clubs around the country are hosting Regional Get-Togethers.
The Georgia Garden Railway Society (GGRS) elected to partner with the multi-scale 65th Atlanta Model Train Show to be held at the Gas South Convention Center, 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth, Georgia 30097, on Saturday, August 24th, to host a G-Scale Southeast Regional Get-Together that will feature:
- Up to 10 self-guided metro-Atlanta area garden railway tours daily on Friday, August 23rd, and
Sunday, August 25th;
- some out-of-area garden railway tours off selected major Interstates on Thursday, August 22nd, and
Sunday, August 25th;
- Tours of the new warehouse facility for nationally known model train retailer TRAINZ on Friday,
August 23rd;
- an optional indoor Get-Together Dinner on Friday evening of August 23rd featuring door prizes;
suggestions for area dining, entertainment, and train venues; and a preview of train show vendors;
- an enhanced G-scale vendor presence at the 65th Atlanta Model Train Show in Duluth, Georgia, on Saturday, August 24th, including a multi-table White Elephant Sale by GGRS members; and,
- G-scale oriented “how-to” and railroad history clinics.
