NMRA National 2019

This is not a Spectator Sport!

It’s a FANTASTIC Opportunity. A once in a lifetime experience. We are going to have the NMRA National Convention here in our Region, in Salt Lake City in 2019. Yes we have the facilities, yes we have some world class layouts and modelers. And we have lots of prototype railroading in our area. WHAT WE NEED IS YOU!

In order to pull this off in 2019, we need 50-100 people to be Chairmen and Committee Members, especially for the Non-Rail Activities and Tours, and the Tours Committee itself.

This doesn't mean you quit your job and join the "Circus". We simply need individuals to Step-Up and be a part of this GREAT Event. It may seem like 2019 is a long ways off, but believe me, there are plenty of things to do now.  

Let me tell you of some of the great experiences I've had as one of the Co-Chairmen of the Clinics Committee, along with Jack Chase, and Bill Hughes. We already have two committee members. We are actively engaged in lining-up possible Clinics and Clinicians. And believe me, it has been nothing but fun! Already we have some of the best Clinicians from all over the Country, and the world. How about Joe Fugate of Model Railroad Hobbyist, Pelle Soeborg, the great modeler from Denmark, who writes books and articles for Model Railroader Magazine, David Popp, Cody Grivno, of MR, Lee Nicholas, Rob Spangler, Cinthia Priest, Editor of the NMRA Magazine, and Dave Trussell (creator of the layout at the Colorado Model Railroad Museum at the Greeley Freight Station). The list goes on, and on. We also have some of the most respected layout designers coming- Lance Mindheim, Byron Henderson, and Seth Neumann.

The Convention attendees and their families will have a real treat waiting for them. They can visit our new Natural History Museum, attend Temple Square, a Tabernacle Choir rehearsal and broadcast, our National Parks, enjoy our beautiful mountains, Park City, attend a Bees baseball game, or take in a show at the Capitol Theater. They can go shop at one of our great malls: City Creek Center, The Gateway, SouthTowne, or Trolley Square. Then there is our fine Trax and FrontRunner transportation system that allows them to go from the Utah State Railroad Museum at the Union Station in Ogden, to fun all the way to Provo.

There is only one thing we are missing. .  YOU.                 

Be like these guys, raise your hand, answer the call, and have fun too!

So step up to the plate ‘n

Give it Your Best Shot!

Ask how you can help!
