Workshop 1 - Gerard Fitzgerald   The Origins of the NMRA: A Historical Look Back During Our 90th Anniversary

The clinic will examine the history and early decades of the NMRA in light of the 90th anniversary of the organization's founding in 1935. While the country and the hobby were different in the 1930s and 1940s, there were also similarities to current approaches to model railroading in 2025, especially with respect to modeling the prototype.  While not definitive, the clinic will briefly examine various cultural, organizational, and technological aspects of the early years of the hobby, reflecting the ongoing series of articles by the author commemorating the anniversary in the NMRA Magazine this year.
