We’ve all read a lot these days about how to get young people involved in model railroading. We read it in all of the major model railroading magazines. One article says “Kids are the future of model railroading.” Another asked, “How can we get young people involved in this hobby with all of the other things kids can do.”

A lot of people are talking about it, but how many are actually doing something about it? It’s not enough to just talk to kids about model railroading or take them to model train shows; we need to really get them involved and keep them interested in model railroading.

Youth in Model Railroading (YMR) is a national model railroad organization specifically designed for kids, ages 8 -18, who want to learn about model trains, real trains, and how to build things. YMR was established in 1996 in the Denver, Colorado area with the purpose to provide a club for youths that is educational and fun.
