Gateway 2001 NMRA Convention

Organized by National Model Railroad Association

July 8-15, 2001

Millennium Hotel St. Louis
St. Louis, Missouri, USA

The Gateway Division hosted the 2001 National Convention and National Train Show for the National Model Railroad Association from July 8­­­–15, 2001.

Traditionally, every NMRA convention includes a wide variety of activities. Tours visit model railroad layouts in homes and at clubs. Other tours visit area industries, rail facilities, or model railroad manufacturers, so participants have an opportunity to see the real locations they are modeling. Tours to well-known historical and entertainment venues offer families a chance to visit the area. Contests offer a chance for modelers to show their best work and be judged for Achievement Program merit points and other awards. Clinics cover all aspects of the hobby, often tying into local or regional railroads, history, and geography. Auctions provide an opportunity for hobbyists to dispose of items or find the perfect purchase. Special Interest Groups schedule events, and lunches and banquets are planned.
