The Piedmont Division is one of, if not THE most active, accomplished and productive NMRA Division in the country! Our members are some of the most talented modelers in the hobby, and all share a love of railroads.
The Piedmont Division, a 501(c)(3) organization, is a group of about 450 model railroading enthusiasts in metro Atlanta and North Georgia. It is a part of the SOUTHEASTERN REGION of the NATIONAL MODEL RAILROAD ASSOCIATION. We are one of the biggest, most active and fastest growing Divisions in the NMRA. You do not need to have trains of your own to be a member— just someone that enjoys railroading and the hobby.
Our members have all scales of model trains, including large scale garden layouts. Some members have huge, fully detailed and landscaped layouts that fill basements and outbuildings. Others only have a simple model train set that comes out of the box for holidays. These layouts cover railroads past and present, and portray most parts of North America as well as some in Europe.
