Our mission:
To provide a supportive community where model railroaders of all capabilities can gather, exchange ideas, and enjoy the hobby.
In order to provide a supportive community where model railroaders of all capabilities can gather, exchange ideas, and enjoy the hobby, the SNMRA actively engages with the community. From local model railroad clubs and retailers to the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA), we are working to bring all aspects of the hobby within the reach of our members. The Sarasota Toy Museum has been an integral part of our journey and monthly SNMRA meetings are held there. We are currently working with the Florida Railroad Museum in order to bring the joy of volunterism and protoype operations to our activities.

Transforming your Holiday Train Into a Layout
We're back at the Sarasota Toy Museum to discuss how to start a permanent or semi-perminent layout. Don't pack your holiday train away in a box, only to dream about it for a whole year.
