Events
There are plenty of opportunities to see our layout in action, attend a workshop, or simply come and talk about trains.
Public shows are our primary activity, where we show off all of our hard work. We also conduct workshops on various aspects of model railroading.
Monthly "backshop" sessions give us a chance to work on modules, test interconnections and run some trains.
Come on by and see us!
Upcoming Events
Events in boldface are NTRAK module events. Click on the "status" link (where present) to see a layout plan and a roster of members who have already signed up to bring modules. If you want to bring a module and aren't already on the roster, sign up by sending an email message to the Setup Foreman whose name appears for that event by clicking on his or her name. Please be sure to clearly state which module you'll bring to the event! If you're a Setup Foreman and want your event to have a "status" link, please contact the webmaster.
If you have questions about any of the setups you can contact our Superintendent Rodney Bohlmann by e-mail at RJBohlmann@comcast.net.
