Period Advertising

The back of the April 1992 issue of the NASG's The Dispatch has the most-representative advertisement of the sets at the time. The photography was done by Bob Werre, a well-known S-scale modeler and professional photographer based in Houston, Texas. The main photo on the left was set up on the Houston S Gaugers' club layout, with the cars being positioned on one of the club's corner modules. The club's layout features hand-laid code 100 rail, and Bob set up a custom background. The ad also shows the various road names that they released at that time.
