Railroad Prototype Modelers Meets (RPMs)
Led By: Dave Owens
Dave Owens has been running NERPM for the past twenty years, bringing together modelers of all ages and skill levels in and around New England and beyong to talk about all things prototype modeling. He will lead a panel of other RPM leaders to discuss what makes an RPM unique and how it can enhance your modeling.

Simulations
Led By: Andy Estep
Andy will lead a panel of folks that are modeling railroads in the virtual world. They will discuss modeling locomotives and rolling stock in 3D that can then be printed and brought into the hands on modeling world, but also talk about complete operating sessions that are being done in a virtual world. This includes full virtual simulations and operating sessions without the need to a physical railroad, but they will also discuss how this can be used in advance of building a railroad to test our your operating scheme. This should prove to be a fascinating discussion of a new and growing segment of the hobby.

3D Printing
Led By: Bernard Hellen
Bernard Hellen of Miniprints.com will lead a panel of experts in 3D Printing and discuss how 3D printing is revolutionizing the hobby. They will talk about how manufacturers are bringing rare models to market that cannot be done in other mediums, but also how this is bringing a must have tool for every modeler wishing to build a layout.

Preview of Concord Flyer
Led By: Tage Erickson
The team from the Seacoast Division is hard at work producing the next Northeastern Region Convention to be hosted in Concord, New Hampshire September 11-14. Hear what the team has in store for attendees as they showcase all that northern New England Railroading has to offer. From layouts that have been featured in the national press, to Modeling with the Masters clinics, this is an event not to be missed.
New Hampshire is also home to several tourist railroads and the team is working on trips that will get your into the beautiful mountains of New Hampshire. Look for registrations to open around April 1. No fooling, this will be a convention not to be missed
