Administrative Request Form

Please direct any research questions about the hobby of model railroading, prototype railroads or drawings, railroad history or modeling specific research to the NMRA A.C. Kalmbach Memorial Library.

The Administration Department staff members are not experienced modelers. If you would like advice from one of our many experienced member modelers you may choose one of the following options:

  • If you are a NMRA Member, please contact the memberaid [at] nmra.org (NMRA Member Aid Chair )of the NMRA Services Department.
  • If you are not yet a member of the NMRA, you may direct your general modeling questions to the Answer Group, which is a group of NMRA Modelers who have volunteered to help fellow modelers with general modeling questions. Please remember that these members are volunteering, and it may take up to two weeks to receive a response to your request.

NMRA Liability and Property Insurance Program.

On February 20, 2007, our Insurance Coordinator and Past President, John Roberts, wrote a memo on the insurance program. This memo is current for the current year. Full details of the program can be found by following this link.

The details are also available as an Adobe PDF file which can be found here.


Thank you for your support of the NMRA and the Hobby of Model Railroading.

Happy Modeling!
