The National Model Railroad Association, Inc. advances the global scale model railroading community through education, advocacy, standards, and social interaction.
After much hard work by former NMRA President Charlie Getz and Narrow Gauge & Shortline Gazette editor Bob Brown, and many delays by the California State Parks Commission, “The Magic of Scale Model Railroading” exhibit at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento is open!
The exhibit is literally Smithsonian quality, and traces the history of model railroading from its inception to today, as well as showing non-modelers how a train layout is built, pieces of several finished layouts, and the various tools and models of our great hobby.
