AN INVITATION TO JOIN... To further your enjoyment of the best hobby in the world, why not consider joining the more than 400 Australian and New Zealand members of the National Model Railroad Association. Membership enables you to meet other model railway enthusiasts of all scales and prototypes. NMRA members and their families meet each month at a member's home to marvel at the layout, discuss modelling and socialize. Members may borrow VHS videos and DVDs on modelling topics, participate in workshops and enjoy the conventions which are staged around the country each year.
Membership is available for a modest annual fee and there is no joining fee.
PLEASE CONTACT... The Association is divided into Divisions centred around the major geographic areas. By contacting the Divisional representative in your area, you can find out about local modelling activity and meetings. You are welcome to come along to meetings as a visitor and meet the Association members in your area, who will be pleased to tell you how you can join the NMRA. Or you may simply print out and mail the Application Form.

The CD contains welcoming letters and information, a video library listing, the latest NMRA standards and recommended practices, photos and video footage of local models and layouts and several recent copies of Mainline, the quarterly Australasian magazine. The membership card entitles you to discounts at many participating modelling shops.
You are invited to subscribe to Mainline, which is produced locally and published quarterly. It is a quality magazine choc full of articles, reports and local modelling information. You may also subscribe to Scale Rails, the monthly magazine published by the US Regions of the NMRA.
YOUR COMMITTEE... are all local modellers and our names and phone numbers are always listed on page 2 of the Mainline, as well as listed on the Contacts web page. Please feel free to contact any member for information and advice.
