National Train Show

I have recently attended the National Model Railroaders Association Convention in Hartford Connecticut. These types of conventions and shows are great because they expose you to all aspects of the hobby and they allow you to catch up on the latest innovations in model railroading. I also enjoy networking with other model railroaders and exchanging ideas and troubleshooting tips at these shows. The national convention isn’t the only train show all year. Most regional NMRA chapters or rail fan clubs sponsor train shows and swaps yearly so check and see if their are any in your area.
