[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by cacole I As near as I have been able to determine, the NMRA doesn't sponsor any events closer than Phoenix, 250 miles from me, and may not even have any other members other than me in all of SE Arizona. [/quote] For accuracy, the NMRA does not sponsor events anywhere other than the annual national convention. Local regions or districts often sponsor events. Here in eastern North America the NorthEastern Region (NER) of the NMRA sponsors two shows in the region annually. You used to be able to contact NMRA HQ and request a list of members in your state or Region; I don't know if this is still available. I've been in the NMRA since 1983, and remain more or less by momemtum. I changed my membership to sustaining a few years ago to get a cheaper price, and no longer get the Bulletin/Scale Rails. And I don't miss it. I'm within shooting distance of achieving Master Model Railroader status, but haven't had the interest to complete the last few requirements (I have to complete the 10 hours as a dispatcher and scratchbuild a loco). I would like to get this level sometime, so I am staying a member, although not a very enthusiastic one. In the last Scale Rails that I saw it shows the membership was down to 20,493 last July. That's about a 4K drop since I last received the Bulletin, so it doesn't look too good. Bob Boudreau Canada
