RPM updates

Several railroad prototype modeler (RPM) events are scheduled in the months ahead. The RPM calendar lists events and dates across the US and Canada this year.

Planning for the October RPM Naperville has begun. Steve Hile and Jerry Hamsmith are seeking presenters for this long running event. Leave a comment below with your email address and topic if you are interested. Registration will open soon.

I’m looking forward to the New England/North East RPM in Springfield, Massachusetts, on the last weekend in May. It’s not too late to register. Forty-seven presentations are on the schedule. Maybe I’ll see you there!

The St. Louis RPM offers an expanded clinic selection with a theme on operations. Members of the Layout Design Special Interest Group will be available for layout consultations. This July event has been one of the largest prototype modeler gatherings over the years.

2026 has been a busy year for RPM events and there are plenty more to enjoy. Check out the calendar to see what fits into your plans.
