Join the Club....the 100% NMRA Club!

There are many clubs and organizations in our model railroading community.  But, how many can claim all of their members are also members in the NMRA?  These organizations recognize the importance of being an NMRA member.  Through their membership in their club and NMRA, they are promoting and supporting our hobby.  The NMRA recognizes these clubs through its 100% NMRA Club.

With a $50 administration fee and completed application, your organization will become a member in the 100% NMRA Club.  Some of the benefits of this organization include:

Qualifications

  1. Minimum club membership must be four (4) members.

  2. All members of the model railroad club must be members in good standing of the National Model Railroad Association, Inc.
  3. It is the clubs responsibility to ensure all club participants are active NMRA members because their insurance is only valid when all members are current NMRA members. Keep in mind expiration dates for individual memberships will vary. 
  4. The club shall apply by submitting a list of club members with their NMRA membership numbers and expiration date.
  5. 100% status will be valid for one year from the time the 100% NMRA Club Program Manager approves the application and issues an expiration date. A completed copy of the approved application will be returned to the club for their records. 100% status must be renewed annually.
  6. The Scale Rails Editor shall be notified by the 100% NMRA Club Program Manager so that appropriate recognition can be made in the next available issue of the NMRA Bulletin.
  7. A qualifying club will receive a certificate noting their achievement. The club will also be eligible to purchase the NMRA model insurance for that year.
  8. Clubs are cautioned not to maintain duplicate membership lists to "beat the system".  Misrepresentation of club membership rolls can result in cancellation of insurance, possible prosecution for fraud, and individual personal liability for all club members and officers.
