Yuma Model Railroaders, Inc.,                         Yuma, Arizona
      All Scales Model Rails

The Yuma Model Railroaders are an active group in Southwest Arizona. Our interests range from full-size railroads to model railroads of all scales. We welcome new members; whether you are a full time resident  or  winter visitor.  Currently we have an operating HO scale modular layout that is displayed at the Yuma County Fair week and several other events throughout the year.  See our listing of Coming Events for future dates.  
    All members of the modular group are NMRA members and the YMRR Modular Club Division is a 100% NMRA Club. We are also an Ambassador group for the World's Greatest Hobby. 

   Meetings are held about once a month; round-robin style on varying days and times.  We have work sessions on subjects such as tree-making, rolling stock tuneups and scenery construction as well.  Research and photo trips are taken out along the very active SP/UP Sunset Route for train watching and searching for historical remnants of rail lines. 

   Membership in the YMRR Yahoo group is restricted to members due to spam mail, but those interested are welcome to request. Check it out here!

Do You Love Model Trains?but  Don't Think You Have Room For A Layout? Think Again!

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 from each others experiences and skills and are then able to run their own equipment on the layout. You are not required to own a module to be able to operate on the layout. BUT if you like to model, it only takes a space of 2' by 4' to get started with your very own! Ask us for more information on how!

If you enjoy railroads of any size or scale and are interested in joining a group of positive members to have some fun we would like to invite you to come out and join us. We’re not picky about the railroad or era you like, club members enjoy a wide variety of rolling stock and locomotives and eras.  Yearly dues are inexpensive and joining is easy. We look forward to hearing from you!

We are CURRENTLY Operating HO Scale model railroad display at the Yuma Southgate Mall!
