NMRA National Convention, Sunday July 22 thru Saturday July 28, 2007

The members of the North Central Region, located in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana will present the 2007 National Model Railroad Association Convention. The convention will take place at the Detroit Marriot in the Renaissance Center Building. Located on the river in downtown Detroit, this facility offers modern accommodations and complete convention services under one roof. Minutes from countless entertainment and food establishments, this site will fulfill any and all requirements.

The North Central Region is the home of many Master Model Railroaders (MMR) and they will open their layouts for your pleasure. Dr. Bruce Chubb (Sunset Valley), Jim Clemens (Sugar Springs Mining Co. RR) and Dan Lewis (The North Montana Lines), renowned authors and modelers, will be part of the layout tour. The layouts available have been chosen from a selection of over 100 layouts. You will get a chance to see the best of the best at this convention. The Convention Committee has also arranged a selection of over 20 prototype tours, and given the locale, sites with heavy railroad activity will be paramount.
