Atlantic Coast S Gaugers - ACSG "Promoting S Gauge along the East Coast"

The formation of this Atlanta area division began when Tom Robinson, owner of the "This is S Gauge" portable layout, moved to Georgia, and at the 2001 NASG Convention told Wayne Beachy he wanted to start an Atlantic Coast S Gaugers Division in the Atlanta area.

If you are interested in joining, contact Bob Lacheen. We will send you a new member packet and keep you advised about the next planned meeting of the Georgia Division.

The club has set up the layout for the past few years in July at the Southern Museum in Kennesaw. At a show in July 2024, the club offered to donate the full layout to the Southern Museum. The museum accepted, and ownership of the modular layout was transferred on December 14, 2024, at their 'All Aboard' event, where the club operated the layout. We will continue to operate either a 16' x 30' or the full 29' x 30' layout at future Southern Museum events. This will keep the club operating for the foreseeable future.

The weekend of March 15 & 16, 2003, members of the Carolinas Division of the ACSG traveled to Atlanta Georgia to promote beginning a Georgia Division.

"The show was a lot of fun, we met a lot of S gaugers from the Atlanta area, and we placed second in the contest, earning $300 for our treasury. At the show, we were able to identify 12 potential members to start a Georgia Division. We gave out over 100 membership brochures." - Joe Haenn
