I have been an NMRA member since 1987, a NFR member & COD Division member for the same length of time. I finally got to attend a National Convention ( Maple Leaf 2003 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada), only because I live an hour's drive north of Toronto. Up until then, my financial conditions prevented me from traveling any great lengths and staying in hotels/motels to attend a National Convention. I do participate in the NFR's Modeler's Corner at Train Shows as much as possible, to promote the hobby, learn from other model railroaders as well. I think the NMRA organization has done much for the hobby, but has fallen behind the times, but with the new Long Range Plan, the updated Scale Rails magazine, and change of focus towards the "times they are a-changing" era, I think they are on the right track. I have read some emails concerning a Canadian NMRA, not as a seperate association, but as a partner with the present NMRA to provide input reguarding Canadian members wants and needs. I think this could be a good thing, as long as I wouldn't be required to pay membership dues to both associations. That I could not afford. Well, that's my thoughts on the subject. Moemann
