Publications
The NMRA produces many publications for the benefit of its members and model railroaders everywhere. The major ones are listed here. For further information, contact headquarters with your area of interest, or:
Bulletin
Official Publication of the National Model Railroad Association
The Bulletin is the official voice of the NMRA to its members.
Regional, Division and SIG publications
Although the Bulletin is the only centrally provided official publication of the NMRA,
there are many Regional, Division and
Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that provide media for members.
Data Sheets
The NMRA Headquarters produces the essential specifications for hundreds of model railroading topics. From information on adhesives to selective compression, you will find years of accumulated guidelines from experienced modelers.
The data sheets are now also available on a convenient CD ROM titled
InfoPak which includes additional information as well.
Official Railway Equipment Register
The Official Railway Equipment Register (ORER) is a limited-run (3000 copies)
reprint of the January 1953 issue and records the
rolling stock used on North American railroads at that time.
It includes car numbers and dimensions - inside and out - for rolling stock of all kinds.
This specially authorized reprint includes a detailed introduction
by noted freight car historian Anthony Thompson.
Pounding the Rails
The internal publication Pounding the Rails is provided to those members who volunteer to work on Public Relations and
Recruitment. For more information contact:
A Quick and Easy Guide to Promoting Model Railroad Month (November, every year)
A guide to "help you plan, publicize and carry out
activities promoting Model Railroading and the National Model Railroad
Association during the month of November, which is Model Railroad Month".
Caboose Country!

Caboose Country! is
