Some of the best examples of modular scale model railroads in New England
can be found at the
New England Model Train EXPO
As of November 4th, we have confirmation from 5 model railroad groups who will display their operating modular layouts at our 2026 show. In addition, the HUB Division will be setting up it's own modular layout.
If you would like to bring a layout display to this or a future New England Model Train EXPO, please contact the
EXPO Layout Coordinator for information.
Listed below are the model railroads attending the show, along with an overview of their layout and a link to their website, if any. Additional layouts will be added as they confirm, so check back for the most current list.

The Amherst Belt Lines HO Scale Modular Layout, Was Organized On November 25, 1978 As A Special Interest Group Of The Amherst Railway Society, Inc. We Participate In A Number Of Annual Shows Throughout The New England Region With A Diverse. The Goal Of Our Organization Is To Promote Railroading And The Hobby Associated With It. A Unique Aspect Of The Amherst Belt Lines Is That Our Group Also Focuses On Replicating Railroad Operations By Using A Car-Card & Waybill System, Which Is Not Common Among Many Display Layouts. We Also Strongly Promote Participation By Young Individuals. |

| New Hampshire Garden Railway Society | G Scale | www.nvrra.com |

The New Hampshire Garden Railway Society is a group of individuals who share an interest in promoting the growth of large-scale trains and garden railroading. In a typical year, the New Hampshire Garden Railway Society participates in about half a dozen train shows and events, displaying one or more of our portable G scale layouts and promoting the hobby of large scale model railroading. Our "Little Green" Layout is the club's live steam layout. These trains are pulled by fully-functional miniature steam locomotives that operate much like their full-sized counterparts, except that they are fired by clean-burning butane gas instead of coal, allowing them to be run safely indoors. |

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. |
