WELCOME TO

THE CAROLINA SOUTHERN DIVISION

of the

Mid Eastern Region, National Model Railroad Association

The Carolina Southern is a division of the Mid-Eastern Region of the National Model Railroad Association.  Our membership includes all NMRA members in the North Carolina counties of Cabarrus, Catawba, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Stanly, and Union. If you are not a member of the NMRA, take a look at our Join Now page to see how you can take full advantage of all the challenges and excitement of the World's Greatest Hobby, Model Railroading.

If you are a frequent visitor to our page, you can check on the latest updates on the Site Updates page.

The second semester of our Railroad Modeling University was held on January 19, 2008 at the First Baptist Church in Uptown Charlotte. Click here or on RM University on the Site Menu for more details.

If you are interested in some online "How To..." check out our new Modeling Backshops feature. Here you will find helpful tutorials from our members on various aspects of building and maintaining a model railroad.

New visitors are invited to check out our 2008 Calendar and our Local Model Railroading Clubs and Hobby Shops listings.

And now for the commercial...

The Carolina Southern Division strives to:

	Instruct, aid, and assist model railroaders in our area in fulfilling their enjoyment of model railroading as a hobby;
	Promote model railroading especially in our Carolina Southern Division area by sponsoring model railroad events, including conventions, meets, clinics, and contests; and
	Promote model railroading in general through participation in the Mid Eastern Region (MER) and National Model Railroad Association, Inc. (NMRA).

To advance these goals, we have a program to help folks get started.  Check out the Help Page for a link to your personalized help.  There's lots of experience waiting at your fingertips.

Another way we promote the hobby of model railroading is in helping to preserve existing layouts. Our current preservation project is a large HO display layout in the town of Brookford, NC, just to the south of Hickory. More information is on our Train Town page.
