NMRA British Region

Official YouTube channel for the National Model Railroading Association, British Region (NMRABR).

When the NMRA was founded in 1935, model railroading was in its infancy, without standards that ensured interchangeability. The NMRA was the organisation that set those Standards and Recommended Practices which still guide manufacturers and consumers alike. The NMRA set the manufacturing standards that continue to guarantee the compatibility of different brands of DCC equipment, helping to ensure that hobbyists enjoy the many benefits of equipment compatibility.

The NMRA British Region promotes the hobby in the United Kingdom, and while many of us NMRA British Region members do indeed have US and North American railways as our prime or only modelling interest, we recognise that some of our members model non-US prototypes or are involved with non-US layouts, and therefore we promote model railroading as a whole, regardless of prototype or modelling interest.
