Directory of Organizations Resources

Home > Recreation > Models > Railroad > Organizations

Aimed at directing searchers toward recognised rail clubs, societies and associations where: 1) historical research material can be obtained or deposited. 2) others of similar interest can be contacted. 3) find local, national and international model rail resources. 4) rail related information can be found and shared. 5) model making tips can be found and shared. 6) answer detail, technical, historical and beginners' questions relating to the various aspects of the hobby. This is a fascinating hobby with many facets that can be enjoyed by anyone at any age. With nearly 200 years of history to support it, the range of subjects is attractive too. This is the realm where people really can suspend their disbelief. Who wants to be an engine driver...?
