Our club's philosophy and programs reflect a strong commitment to public service and education, both of our own members and of the general public. At our monthly chapter meetings, we not only socialize and talk about trains, but share information and experiences and learn from each other about European railroading and the European model railroad hobby. We are dedicated to our club layouts which we exhibit at several shows every year around New England.

The ETE-ENE is a group of model railroaders that focus on European manufacturers, layouts and eras. Our members collect and run Märklin, Roco, Brawa, Fleischmann, Pico, and other European brands.

And Your Host --

NMRA HUB Division HO Scale www.hubdiv.org

The Hub Division is sponsoring this show and will also have a large modular railroad of its own. The railroad operates using Digital Command Control (DCC). With DCC, trains operate on low voltage AC power instead of the traditional DC power.  Each train engine has a small computer chip installed, and computer instructions are sent to the locomotives through the electric pulses transmitted through the rails. Each engine only responds to it's instructions, so that all trains are independently controlled without the need for traditional DC blocks and cab control.
