General Club Information
We are a Manteca club for model railroaders of all abilities and skill levels who enjoy any aspect of this exciting hobby. Our portable interchangeable modules interconnect to quickly set up a model railroad of variable size. Most modules can be fitted one to another due to our standardized shapes and electrical connections. That follow National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) module standards. This is web address to the standards for a understanding of the rules for making one http://www.nmra.org/standards/modules/ms_intro.html .
The club uses Digitrax components to power our layout. Members own their own modules and their own rolling stock and locomotives. All eras and types of prototype equipment are welcome. Members create the scenery, trackwork and structures on their modules. Members are not required to own or purchase any equipment or modules. An important rule at our operating sessions is that when members place their rolling stock on the track, they become available for all members to use during that operating session.
Visitors are welcome to attend our meetings and operating sessions, but only through prior arrangement. If you would like to consider becoming a member, you must attend three meetings or activities and actively participate to the best of your ability. Each applicant is expected to help set up the club modules at the beginning and help take them down at the end of the day. After the third meeting, an applicant who agrees to pursue the goals of the Manteca Model Railroad Association will be eligible for membership. Eligible applicants need a 2/3 vote of approval to join the club and then become full members after payment of monthly dues of $20. Full members under the age of 18 pay half price. Our dues are higher then most of the older club.
Applicant Requirements
Our group is always open to responsible new members. We do not discriminate on the basis of gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference or disability. MMRRA votes on all new member applications. We have established an application procedure that provides time for you and the group to get acquainted.
