We're offering an exciting new benefit for NMRA Div 7 members - the Model Railroading Roundtable (MRR) program. Small groups of modelers gather in a local home or meeting place and learn a new model railroading skill. Those that have mastered the skill host and assist the group to develop that skill in a one-to-two hour session.

The program started in early 2024. Several topics are being offered and developed. Those interested in hosting a session can contact Sam Swanson at nwindes1980@gmail.com to propose a topic and timeframe. Sign-up announcements for each class will be published in the The Oil Can. See the Modelers Aid page for more details, including a useful pdf attachment.

We're offering an exciting new benefit for our new and not so new members - Cincinnati Division 7 Orientation Events.  Our next session is at 7 pm on March 26, 2025 at the American Legion Post 72 Hall in Mt. Carmel, Ohio.

Attending this event will accelerate your join-up and fun in both the NMRA and the hobby by sharing the multitude of benefits, opportunities, and resources available, while also providing collaborative interactions with Division 7 leaders and experts.  See the Oil Can for more details.
