What is the NMRA?

The National Model Railroad Association was founded in 1935 to serve the interests of model railroaders like you.

The NMRA has 17 Regions world-wide. Our Pacific Northwest Region covers Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Alaska, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Alberta.

Each NMRA Region is further divided into several Divisions. Our 4th Division of the Pacific Northwest Region covers Western Washington from the Cascade Crest to the Pacific Ocean and from Lewis and Pacific Counties to the Canadian border, plus all of Alaska.

Your dues make you a member with full benefits from all three organizations: the National Model Railroad Association, the Pacific Northwest Region, and the 4th Division.
