FAQ's and terms
On this page we will list frequently asked questions about model railroading, and trains in general. If you have one, send it to us!
Where in Yuma can I buy model trains?
Answer: Well, unfortunately there are no model train stores in Yuma. There are several places in town that you can buy various supplies for scenery and scratch building. At many of our meetings we have informal swap meets and we do post 'for sale' or 'Items wanted" messages on our message board. Several members of the YMRR have abilities they are willing to share with you also, so if you have a specific question, you can ask it here, or better yet attend one of our meetings or workshops. There are several model train stores, hobby shops and web sites that the YMRR members frequent.
- How do I find out when the next meeting is or join the YMRR?
Watch our web site and ask to be added to our email list for recent notices of meetings and workshops.
- I don't have space for a layout at home so what can I do?
No Room For A Layout? Two great benefits of YMRR Membership are the members and the layout. Members contribute time and energy to the construction and maintenance of the layout, but also get to learn a lot and run their own registered equipment on the layout. Yearly dues are inexpensive and joining is easy. See how here
- I don't know a thing about model railroading but am interested. Where do I start?
First we need to get you to one of our meetings where we can talk with you about your interests. In the mean time, the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) has an excellent web page devoted to beginners in the hobby.
Click here to go to that page.- I like trains and would like to start model railroading but I don't have any skills.
Not everyone starts out as an expert, no matter what they say!! We all start from a beginning point. You may be surprised at a skill or talent that you may have that you can offer to model railraoding and the YMRR. This hobby is very diverse and you don't have to be great at them all. That is one of the great things about model railroading is that you can draw from the talents of many to help you through. While you may be not as strong in your woodworking skills or lack the needed tools, you may excel at research, electronics or painting.
