“Model railroading is a unique blend of artistry, history, and engineering. But more importantly, it is a community. Whether you are a lone wolf in a basement or a regular at a modular club, the NMRA exists to ensure you don’t have to model alone.”

‘Tis the season for work on your Achievement Program. Glenn Mitchell has been working on a structure for 20 years, and he finally presented it. John McHugh and I went to Glenn’s house and evaluated the doll house that he scratch built for his granddaughter. It has earned Merit. Congratulations.
