Welcome to the Nutmeg Division!
The Nutmeg Division of the Northeastern Region of
the National Model Railroad Association, Inc. covers the counties of Hartford,

It is the oldest Division in the Northeastern Region, having been

Membership Promotion
in the Nutmeg Division
Membership Promotion is an on-going program of promoting membership
in the National Model Railroad Association, the Northeastern Region and
the Nutmeg Division. We believe that becoming a member of the NMRA, the
NER and the Nutmeg Division will provide the information and the
personal contacts that will make your introduction into this exciting
and diverse hobby more enjoyable.
To further the goal of promoting membership in the NMRA, the NER
and the Nutmeg Division, the Membership Promotion Department of the
Nutmeg Division displays a member recruitment display at train shows
throughout the Nutmeg Division's area. Recently, a promotional video
has been produced using the layout photographs taken for the NER
Convention in Cromwell last year. Look for it at a local train show.
The Membership Promotion Chairman is Al Daley. You can find
information on how to contact Al on the 'Brass Hats' page of this web
site.

NMRA Achievement Program
in
the Nutmeg Division
The Achievement Program
of the National Model Railroad Association is a program that recognizes
the acomplishments of an individual for both
his/her modeling skills and his/her service to the National Model
Railroad Association.
The Achievement Program is open to members of the NMRA, and
administered by the NMRA. Each Region and each Division is requested to
name an Achievement Program Chairman. This person provides the contact with
the AP at the local level.
The Local AP Chairman can arrange to have your models or your layout
evaluated for the Achievement Program. If the criteria for a particular
Certificate have been fulfilled, the local Chairman will forward the
paperwork up the line for approval by the National AP Chairman. After
that approval has be obtained, the AP
Certificates will be awarded.
The ultimate goal of the Achievement Program is the awarding of the
title Master Model Railroader. An MMR will be awarded upon the completion
of the requirements for seven (7) Achievement Program Certificates.
Achievement Program Certificates are generally awarded during the
Awards portion of the Banquet program at the Spring or Fall Northeastern
Region Convention.
The Achievement Program Chairman for the Nutmeg
Division is Bob
Van Cleef, MMR. You will find information on how to contact Bob on
the 'Brass
Hats' page of this web site.
