Model Railroad Organizations
National Model Railroad Association
The National Model Railroad Association, Inc. (NMRA) advances the global scale model railroading community through education, advocacy, standards, and social interaction.
The NMRA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization founded during its first National Convention over Labor Day weekend in 1935. Its initial goal was to develop standards for scale model railroad equipment, helping equipment work interchangeably among individual modelers, clubs, and others in the hobby.

Autodesk Fusion
I use Autodesk Fusion to design the buildings, structures, and scenery produced by Dragon Railroad. It allows me to develop an idea into a detailed three-dimensional model and prepare it for the printing process.
