Northeastern Region
The National Model Railroad Association is divided into 18 regions. One of those regions is the Northeastern Region (NER). The Garden State Division is part of this region.
The NER encompasses the six states of New England, most of New York, northern New Jersey, a couple of counties in Pennsylvania, and the Eastern Provinces of Canada and Quebec.
The NER holds an annual convention and has a magazine that is available to read online.
NERx Convention
NERx is a virtual event held in the spring. Unlike an in-person convention, NERx can be viewed from home using a computer. This convention features clinics and layouts tours. It may also have other activities, such as a model and photo contest, model showcase, and roundtable discussions.
