NASG DISPATCH

The DISPATCH is the bi-monthly magazine of the NASG. It is published on or about even months of the year. Each issue is full of information on various aspects of S scale (1:64) model railroading, including topics such as standard gauge modeling, narrow gauge modeling, hi-rail modeling, American Flyer.

The five regular issues contain letters to the editor, editorials, modeling articles, layout feature articles, a narrow gauge column, a club column, an American Flyer column, and a module column. The August issue is an annual membership directory, and also contains some editorial and advertisements. The DISPATCH runs around 32-40 pages.

The DISPATCH is included as part of your yearly NASG membership dues. The current editor is Jeff Madden and there are several regularly contributing columnists. The DISPATCH does not pay for articles, but contributions are welcome. If you would like to submit an article for publication, please contact DISPATCH Editor Jeff Madden.
