From the Backshop

Welcome to the Summer RMR Callboard for 2025, celebrating the 90th Anniversary of the National Model Railroad Association. 

As we celebrate our rich history, we look forward to the next 90 years of innovation, education, and community.

Kicking off that next era will be the Region's 2026 Convention in Rapid City, South Dakota - President Gary Myers has all the early details, along with 2026 contest info so you can plan ahead, and AP Chair Greg Long brings us a long list of Merit Award winners presented in May at the 2025 Durango convention.

Remember - please share and send any pics or videos you take at a club meeting, train show, or possibly the Colorado RPM this September, as well as any announcements or articles you may have for the next issue of the Callboard at jwp519@gmail.com (please include CALLBOARD in the subject line). The Callboard Fall Edition's deadline for submissions is October 19, 2025.  

p.s. Work continues on restoring links to some older issues of the Callboard that have become unusable, still making progress but again, I ask your patience - believe me, it is most appreciated.

Join us in celebrating 90 years of model railroading excellence #NMRAStrong

Now back to the heavy lifting, 

Jeff
