NMRA to hold virtual convention on Facebook this weekend

The NMRA British Region has come up with a wonderful idea! To make up for all of the national and regional model railroad conventions have been cancelled this spring due to COVID-19, they have created a virtual convention.

The convention will be held on April 24 and 25. It starts at Midnight in the UK, which six hours ahead of central standard time and five hours ahead of eastern standard time. Please adjust the time to your local time zone.

They will have clinicians and layout tours from across the world, representing the true global nature of the hobby and the NMRA. Every hour they will have a different clinician start a clinic using Facebook live in the NMRA Facebook Group.

The convention is open to anyone who is a member of the NMRA Facebook page.

A schedule of clinicians and tours have been posted on their Facebook page.  Their Facebook link is:  https://www.facebook.com/events/s/nmra-x-virtual-facebook-conven/1474263012755341/
