There is a "Railroading" Merit Badge. One option includes model railroading.

Yep, Railroading covered both model and prototype. I earned it in ~68/69, before I became a model railroader. Sounded like fun, although it was other circumstances/inspiration that got me into the hobby by 1970.

Here are the rules. The late James Eager of Florida was very active in this area and discussed it often on the mrhmagdotcom forums.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
