LINKS TO MODEL RAILROAD RELATED ORGANIZATIONS

N.M.R.A.
National Model Railroad Association
The group that set most of the standards used in model railroading in the United States, allowing equipment from various manufacturers to operate reliably on the same tracks. Standards and Recommended Practices include modular standards and standards for D.C.C. (Digital Command Control.)

Philadelphia Division of the NMRA
This is our local division of the National Model Railroad Association. While the national and regional organizations are important, the local division is where people meet each other more regularly, fostering personal relationships and learning from each other how to build better models. Half a dozen meetings each year bring together modelers from throughout the area to see presentations on modeling techniques, participate in contests, and visit selected individuals' model railroads.
