Welcome to the Daylight Division!
We are one of five divisions in the Pacific Coast Region of NMRA, with Coast, Redwood Empire, Sierra and Hawaiian Divisions being the other four.
The Daylight Division of the Pacific Coast Region serves NMRA members residing in the California counties of Merced, Mariposa, Madera, Fresno, Tulare, Kings, Kern, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara.
Division meets are held quarterly in February, May, August, and November, rotating to different locations throughout the Division to give everyone an opportunity to attend meetings nearby and share the long-distance drives. Carpooling is encouraged! The Daylight Division is a BIG division.
CALLING ALL N SCALERS IN BAKERSFIELD, KERN AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES
The local model railroad club in Bakersfield, the Golden Empire Historical & Modeling Society, N Scale Division, is currently looking for any N scalers in Kern County who would like to join in on constructing an 18' x 80' N scale club layout, loosely based on the Bakersfield to Mojave line. We have been working on this layout since around 1996, but the more modelers, the merrier! If you have any questions, please contact Doug Wagner at (661) 589-0391 or via email at carldw@aol.com. Visit our website at www.GEHAMS.net. Thank you!
