On April 13, 2024 the Model Railroad Jamboree returns.  This all-day event, sponsored by the Keystone Division of the NMRA, represents one (if not the) best value in model railroading.  For $55 ($45 if you are an NMRA member), you get:

  • A day of historical and how-to clinics (12 total) - this year's line-up is absolutely STELLAR!
  • Continental breakfast and lunch included
  • Contests
  • White Elephant Sale
  • Raffles (scale specific)
  • Displays
  • Layout tours

For an additional $40 there is a banquet at the end of the day which features Nikki Wilhelm, manager of the Carnegie Science Center's Miniature Railroad & Village, as speaker.  Want to know the history of this 105 year old exhibit and how it's operated and maintained?  This should be fascinating!

Where:  Boyce Campus of Community College of Allegheny County, Monroeville, PA

All are welcome!  If you are not an NMRA member, we can even enroll you in a 9-month trial.  This is another awesome deal.

I've been attending this event every year since 2006.  It's a wonderful source of inspiration, information, new ideas, and a chance to meet modelers with similar interests.  There will be a number of 3-railers in attendance.

@Allan Miller and @Mark Boyce - no excuses this time.  We'd love to see you attend!

I hope to see you there!

From the link provided above:

...the Community College of Allegheny County, Boyce Campus, located at 595 Beatty Road, Monroeville, PA 15146

Conveniently located within easy access to the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Interstate-376 just east of Pittsburgh. You can visit the city, see Station Square, ride the Duquesne or Monongahela Inclines, railfan and enjoy the area...just 15 minutes from the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad and the Union Railroad.

Just wanted to remind you that the best value in model railroading is only 5 weeks away - Saturday, April 13!

Despite my presentation on building Weirton Steel's Open Hearth (in O scale) being included , the line up of clinics this year promises to be amazing.

Come join us for a great day of fun and fellowship!

The Model Railroad Jamboree is fast approaching!

It's Saturday, April 13th!

If you want to enjoy the delicious banquet at the end of the day, you need to register on-line before March 31.  The banquet will feature our keynote speaker, Nikki Wilhelm, manager of the Carnegie Science Center's Miniature Railroad & Village.   That's going to be memorable.

We will take walk-in registrations on April 13, but banquet registrations will close on March 31.  Come partake of all the fun!
