Bergie, In Canada, the membership is $88 Canadian, only $12 shy of a hundred. It isn't worth it. In ten years you've shelled out $880. I started a thread in the Atlas forum about 6 months ago suggesting that the NMRA begin to structure itself like the American Automobile Association. In other words, there would be the Model Railway Association, the American Model Railway Association, the Canadian Model Railway Association, the Australian..., the British...., you get the picture. Why is this important, because the country of association would have its own dues. When you translate American dollars into other foreign dollars the membership fee gets almost bizzarre. If the Canadian membership were more like the American one, I might join. The NMRA is pricing itself out of existence, and I'm afraid in other countries, it is doing that. I suspect if there were a Canadian Model Railway Association, like we have the Canadian Automobile Association we a "Canadian" dues rate, more would belong.
