The National Model Railroad Association, Inc. (NMRA) advances the global scale model railroading community through education, advocacy, standards, and social interaction.

Education is central to the NMRA’s mission and an essential component, and we represent the North Central Region of the NMRA, and work with our divisions to prompt Model Railroading.

The Region encompasses all of the lower peninsula of Michigan except Berrien and Cass Counties. It also encompasses the Eastern upper peninsula of Michigan, Northwest Ohio and Northeast Indiana. Our region has nine active divisions, to serve members. If you know your local division and are looking for their website, you can get there using the quick links at the bottom of this page, or click here to find your local division.

The North Central Region publishes a quarterly newsletter, called The HotBox, that is available online. Click the link to read past copies
