Who started the N Scale Enthusiast?

The NSE was established by Wick Brandon, the founder of TexNRails right after he sold the pioneering N Scale retailer to the Herz family, and the store moved to Florida. Wick and Lea moved their family from Texas to Bakersfield California, and the entire operation was run from his home in Bakersfield. George Johnsen came on board as Associate Editor starting with the third issue, and the growth of the organization hasn’t stopped. Wick and George did the first convention in Medford in 1993, and added staff and advisors as the organization grew. Wick held the first auction for the NSE in 1995. Unfortunately, Wick passed away in 2000. His admonition to the staff was “Carry On”, and we have. He is tremendously missed.
