New NMRA LOGO

The National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) is pleased to announce a comprehensive organizational refresh, marking the beginning of a bold new era. Coinciding with our 90th Anniversary , this revitalization includes the unveiling of a striking new wordmark logo.

This new identity is directly inspired by the dynamic power of locomotives , symbolizing the NMRA’s role as a clear leader committed to enriching and propelling the model railroading hobby forward. The design is intentionally robust, representing the significance and enduring strength of our nine-decade legacy.

The rollout of the new brand identity will occur in a phased approach:

Immediate Implementation: The digital presence of the NMRA, including our social media channels, nmra.org, the eBulletin, and Turntable publications, is updated as of today.

January 2026: The brand will be featured in a completely redesigned NMRA Magazine, at the Amherst Railroad Hobby show, and on national promotional materials.

Here are a few preliminary looks at the new logo:
