Here is link to my Mogul running at the Grand Scale Convention.
I parted way with it several years ago but it's current home is a park in Shanghai, China.

Re: Grand Scale Mogul from scratch
The Grand scale convention was held in 2007 at the late John Woods RR. in MO. An absolute fantastic railroad. Over 8 miles of 15" ga. track and an 850 ft. curved tunnel. You better have a good headlight because there is no light at the end of the tunnel. There is a support group that still maintains the RR and hold a meet once a year by invitation only.

Hi John
Do you know if this group might be interested in hosting a national Grand Scale meet in 2017? Or if some other RR might be interested?? Something similar to Train Mountains Triannual...

Re: Grand Scale Mogul from scratch
To get the answer to that question, Glenn, you will need to go to our website at http://www.arborwayrailroad.com and use the contact us information to contact the Superintendent of the ATTNW. He would be able to tell you.
I will say, though, that the ATTNW's annual Friends Meets sometimes resemble conventions... Usually a large gathering of friends from near and far, but just two years ago we had two 15" gauge 2 axle diesels visit us from California. Carey Williams occasionally brings his Cagney. Wasatch brought a few Cagneys from Cheyenne, WY a few years ago, also.
Good times in the Ozark mountains!
