2013 NMRA Convention - Atlanta logo
national train show
Clinics & Clinicians
   This page is provided to help officers in the Mid-Eastern Region (MER) in scheduling clinics for NMRA events. It contains information about clinics that have previously been presented in the MER and may be suitable for your event. The very extensive index below is the best way to find a specific topic or individual. Every clinic is listed at least four times:  author--last name first; author--first name first; title, and topic. Please contact me about errors and omissions.
     Clinics are identied in the following categories:
  • achievement program
  • control
  • electronics
  • miscellaneous   
  • operations
  • painting & decorating
  • planning
  • photography
  • prototype
  • rolling stock
  • scenery
  • signals
  • structures
  • track
  • writing
You may find an interesting topic under one of these headings.  You can find a specific entry using the search feature in your browser. Type ctrl-F (apple-F on a MAC) to start the search.
     Caution:  some potential clinicians are asked to appear at numerous Regional and Division events each year, and may they be unable to attend any event without some financial support for convention-related expenses--for example:  mileage, registration, banquet, lodging (perhaps at someone's home), etc.
