2026 NASG Convention

2026 NASG Convention Manager

Jeff Jundt

Jeff is relatively new to the S community and trains and has only been able to attend the NASG Convention in the past few years. His interest in S is unlike others, as it did not come from childhood and having trains. He grew up on a farm/ranch in South Dakota and collected farm toys of all scales, but primarily 1:64. When he decided to build a diorama for his 1:64 farm toys about 10 years ago, he thought it might be neat to add a train at a grain elevator. It was at that time he discovered S, found a local club, SMSG, and then the interest in building a diorama quickly changed to building an entire layout so as not to just have a static train, but a running one! The layout was originally going to be in a bedroom in the house, but when he built a shop in 2020 for working on vehicles, he added a loft where he has recently started to construct his layout. Jeff has assembled a team of experienced Convention organizers.

2026 NASG Convention Promotions

Gaylord Gill

Gaylord has had an interest in trains for nearly 80 years. Following childhood experiences with American Flyer, he resumed the hobby in the 1970s. He joined the SMSG club a year after it was formed, and in 1982 he joined both the NASG and the NMRA. From that point on, all of Gaylord's modeling has been in scale-S. He especially enjoys kit-bashing and scratch-building structures, and his models have won prizes and been featured in full-length magazine articles. Gaylord has been on the planning committees of each of the four prior NASG Conventions that the SMSG club has hosted. He currently serves as the NASG's Standards Committee Chairman.

In 2008 he saw the light and switched to S-scale. Professionally, Peter is a software engineer specializing in Windows programming in C++, which he started in 1990.
