Member Aid

The Member Aid Officer is Tom Watson (see British Region Officers list). He is available to answer your questions on prototype and modelling matters or general topics, or he can put you in touch with someone who can.

To complement Tom's prototype knowledge many members have offered to make their specialist knowledge available. A full contact list is made available to new British Region members. There are over 50 Railroads covered, from the Bay Area Rapid Transit to the Western Pacific.

Volunteers have also made themselves available to assist with modelling queries, topics covered being Brass Locomotives, Live Steam, Plastic Diesels, Loco Mechanisms, S Scale & Structures.

Several Railroad Historical Societies are also covered in the Member Aid Programme as well as a range of general topics such as advice on Magazine Production, DCC, Raifanning and Travel Advice.

Magazine Searches

The Region offers a magazine search service to its members as part of Member Aid. This is based on a computer database of magazine articles. To make use of the service contact ....(post in transition).... sending a first class stamp with the query to: Calvin Everitt 46, High St., Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV11 5DA

Members making use of this service are asked to be as specific as possible regarding their enquiry. If the enquiry involves a lot of paperwork it is reasonable to expect the recipient to contribute to the cost.

If a particular issue of a Magazine is known, the Region possesses a large collection of magazines as part of its own Library service. Enquiries should then go direct to the Librarian. Membership of the NMRA also allows access to the Kalmbach Library in Chattanooga, which has a huge collection of reference material.
