Niagara Orleans Model Railroad Engineers Inc. (NOME), was founded over 30 years ago by a small group of railroad fans to promote all aspects of the hobby of model railroading.  Our “Clubhouse” is located inside “The Summit” (formerly Summit Park Mall), Niagara Falls, NY.  Our meetings are held at the “Niagara County Safety Building” in Lockport, NY.  The membership also provides operating displays of “N” and “HO” Scale modular layouts throughout the region.

  1. This application form, and have it signed by an active member in good standing.
  2. Submit the completed form to the NOME Treasurer.
  3. Attend six NOMRE sponsored events, at least three of which shall be Regular Meetings, prior to being approved by the majority of the members present at the seventh meeting,
  4. Pay the initiation fee and the annual membership dues.

A NOMRE sponsored event shall be defined as a work session of at least two hours duration, an exhibition of NOMRE operating layouts, including set up and/or dismantling, or any other event so designated at the time the event is scheduled. Work sessions can be located at shows, members' homes or at the clubhouse.

Layouts:

Currently, NOME has three (3) primary layouts: “N” and “HO” Scales, which are fully modular for display at train/hobby-related shows and sponsored events across Western New York and Southern Ontario (both scales supporting analog and Digital Command Control operation) and “O” Scale is generally an in-house “non-traveling” layout.

 

Meetings:

Regular meeting are currently held every third Thursday of the month starting at 7:30, the first portion of which consists of a program (e.g. a demonstration of modeling techniques, a railroad- related information presentation, or possibly a related video).

 

Much more specific information concerning NOME’s many activities and sponsored events can be found on our Website: http://nomre.railfan.net, or by contacting our Webmaster: nomre@roadrunner.com.
