First, they are planning an on-line convention: NMRA 2021 Rails By The Bay

Santa Clara 2021 NMRA National Convention and National Train Show cancelled

The NMRA has cancelled the NMRA 2021 Santa Clara "Rails By the Bay" Convention, scheduled for the Santa Clara Marriott Hotel & Conference Center on July 4-11, 2021.  

We did not reach this decision lightly but felt it was the best for anyone who would want to attend given the current status of the pandemic, the disbursement of the vaccine, and the fact that people were waiting to see what would happen before they registered.  Moreover, local prototype facilities were not open and, understandably, home owners were reluctant to allow people in their homes.

 However, St. Louis will host the 2022 convention and it is expected that all contracts for that convention will be signed shortly, if not by the time you read this.  See you all in St. Louis August 4-15, 2022.
