The SIGs
The Layout Design SIG's prime purpose is to help modelers design and build a model railroad to enhance future operations with minimum space and cost, while avoiding common design flaws, and include prototypical and model design features that maximize operating interest and visual interest.
The Operations SIG is devoted to furthering the simulation of prototypical operating practices by using the forms, procedures, communications, and train schedules on model railroads.
Members of other NMRA SIGs are welcome to participate in Siskiyou Summit 2012 and encouraged to contact either SIGs Activities Chair.
