Note:

The museum's founder, Electra Webb, and A.C. Gilbert were close friends. In 1954 Mrs. Webb asked Mr. Gilbert to create a train layout for the museum. After Mrs. Webb passed away in 1960, the museum donated that layout to the Brandon Training Institute. There it was displayed until 1978 when it was sold at auction. A group of local S enthusiasts volunteered to build a new layout in 2003.

The document on the right explains the history of the museum's layouts. The white page on the left was placed there by Chris Monje, to make people aware of the NASG and our web site (the QR code takes the visitor directly to this web site).
