Kentucky Counties we serve: (MAP):
Division 10 (Kentucky) of the National Model Railroad Association invites interested modelers to join our local chapter. Whether you're just starting out in the hobby or you're an experienced modeler, we offer something for you:

SKILLS: Through clinics at our monthly meetings or discussions with other members, new modeling skills can be learned or your techniques refined;

KNOWLEDGE: Railroad Operation is discussed and practiced at our meetings and at monthly operating sessions;

FUN AND FRIENDSHIP: these are the objectives of all Division 10 activities: Meetings, tours, clinics, road trips, conventions, shows, etc.

We meet at 2:00 PM on the first Sunday of most months, with a featured guest speaker or local modeler to present a clinic on various model railroad subjects. We usually visit a local home layout after the meeting. This is a great opportunity to see their modeling efforts up close and ask questions. Come to our next meeting to see if you'd like to join. We have a wide range of interests, and many of our members also belong to other railroad-related groups in the area: the Bluegrass Railroad Club, The Lionel Collectors Club, the Bluegrass Scenic Railroad and Museum, and others.

Call (859) 269-3573 for specifics, or to ask any questions about the NMRA or Division 10. The meeting location is shown above.

Hope to see YOU soon!!
