Purpose

The James River Division's purpose is to share the fun and excitement of model railroading with modelers in Central and Southside Virginia. We do this through our web page, a Member’s Forum on Yahoo Groups, a quarterly newsletter, Crossties, and four meets per year in locations around the Division. These meets feature clinics, a white elephant table, model displays and contests, door prizes, a 50/50 raffle, home layout tours and model railroading fellowship. Clinics are generally how-to modeling subjects, but also include information on prototype railroading as well. We try to have one all-layout-tour meet per year.  The James River Division makes every effort to bring the benefits of NMRA membership and model railroading in general to you on a more local and personal level.
