Metro North Division

We are the Metro North Division of the Northeastern Region of the National Model Railroad Association. With more than 60 members in Westchester and Fairfield counties, the Metro North Division officially meets five times a year to hear guest speakers, share skills and discuss common problems and successes. Many of us informally get together at least once a week in round-robin sessions to operate and work on each other's layouts or, as often happens, just to talk railroads and modeling.

The division sponsors a modular layout group, which appears at several train shows each year and welcomes new members who can help the layout grow.

We publish a newsletter five times a year to keep members informed of division activities.

The division's makeup cuts across all lines. We have beginners who have sought and received help from the round-robin group, we have experts whose work has appeared in Model Railroader and other national publications and we have others for whom a layout remains a dream on a sheet of paper. Some members (not many but still a countable number) are more train buffs than modelers.

But beyond specific interests and accomplishments what we have is a congenial bunch, more inclined to encourage than criticize, as eager to laugh as they are to learn. Perhaps we fit your interests and needs.
