If you have not already heard, 4D and the Pacific Northwest Region (PNR) of the NMRA will be hosting the 2027 NMRA Convention in downtown Tacoma, August 10-15 2027. Planning is already underway. Both the Tacoma Convention Center and several hotels have been contracted by NMRA HQ.

Now … we need everyone’s support to make this the best convention ever! We will be hosting guests from around the planet.

First, put it in your calendar: August 10-15, 2027.

Second, think about how YOU can contribute:

  • Perhaps open your layout for a layout tour? 
  • Or, offer an operating session.
  • Or, present a clinic.
  • Or be a volunteer … or just attend as a participant
  • … Whatever you do, we need YOUR support!

Third, tell your friends and family about this.  They may not want to attend the core convention, but there is something for everyone – especially kids of all ages – at the National Train Show, open to the public, that will take place on the Saturday and Sunday following the Convention.

Our theme is Expand Your Horizon and we want everyone to come away with new ideas and new friendships.

We will welcome both NMRA members and non-NMRA members (though non-members will pay a little more).

Our website has just been published and will expand as we finalize our plans. But you can signup to our newsletter now. Visit us at:
