Membership

To further your enjoyment of the best hobby in the world, why not consider joining the more than 800 Australian and New Zealand members of the National Model Railroad Association. Membership enables you to meet other model railway enthusiasts of all scales and prototypes. NMRA members and their families meet each month at a member’s home to marvel at the layout, discuss modelling and socialize. Members may borrow DVDs on modelling topics, participate in workshops and enjoy the conventions which are staged around the country each year.

Membership is available for a modest annual fee and there is no joining fee.
