North Georgia Modurail
NGM is Georgia's first HO scale modular club, founded in 1993 North Georgia Modurail (NGM) is the oldest, HO scale modular club in Georgia.
Founded in 1993, we have been increasing in our membership every year, actively promoting the hobby to the public, and just plain having fun. What is North Georgia Modurail? Or more specifically, what on earth is a “Module”? For starters, NGM doesn’t maintain a stagnant, permanent club layout or contract rented warehouse space. No, we’re much more mobile. Our “business model” is literally built around “modules”. Each member has one or more module, usually ranging from 4’ to 6’. This real estate becomes our member’s world. They are the ones who build it, add scenery, lights, even moving parts…wherever your skills and passion takes you, it’s your world. Throughout the year, we conduct many different setups all around Ga, as well as local train shows. We then combine our modules together to make a giant layout, set it up, flip on the power, and run trains till our feet hurt or they kick us out! The constantly changing configurations of layouts, coupled with different venues always brings its own variety and excitement as well. So whether you’re into the steam era, or enjoy watching modern day diesels thunder down the tracks, our only requirement is a passion for the hobby…well, and some small yearly dues as well. You’ll find we are a laid-back, friendly and easy going group of guys and girls, young and old. Best of all, we love to welcome new members!

Great job Cindy Luanne Dodd!
Is it too late to cancel Monday and check into this miniature paradise instead? 🏖️🍹
Huge shoutout to Cindy Luanne Dodd for this insanely creative 4-foot beach modular! From the sunbathers lounging by the pool to the retro cars in the lot—she even fully furnished the inside of the hotel. The level of detail is just unreal.
We suddenly all want to go on vacation... seriously, save us from Monday! Does anyone in the NMRA have a working shrink ray we can borrow for a quick visit? 🔬🌴 Incredible work, Cindy!

We'd like to thank everyone who came out for our module work session yesterday.
Your hard work in helping to fix some lingering issues and doing some much needed upgrades to the track and electrical connections truly helped.
Here's to the next one!

Who at NGM will model this combination?
Always full of peculiarities, Southern steam, especially in the later years, became a hodge-podge of modifications and deviations from the standard designs they were built as. Pictured here in 1952, Southern 6687, an Alco-Richmond built Ps-4 from the first generation batch of 1923, sports a 14,000 gallon tank from one of it's 1926-built sisters. An easy defining feature for the earlier locomotives is the Worthington BL-type feedwater heater just ahead of the air compressor rather than the smaller Elesco pump that would be in its place, along with the corresponding Elesco heater unit atop the smokebox. Also noticeable here, throughout their careers, most of the Southern locomotives built with Baker valve gear had that retrofitted with Walschaert valve gear.
The 6687 was built for service on the Alabama Great Southern subsidiary of the Southern, but by this date, like many others, had migrated across the system. David Driscoll, per usual, captured this image in his hometown of Reidsville, NC, on the Danville Division, a long way from this engine's original home along the Chattanooga-Birmingham-Meridian corridor of the AGS.

All good things must come to an end and with that our annual holiday show at Norfolk Southern's headquarters has concluded.
We would like to thank everyone that stopped by to view our layout whether you were an employee of NS or a member of the general public. Also thanks to all our members who came down to run trains, talk to the public, and donated modules for the layout, we couldn't have done it without you!
And a very special thanks to Norfolk Southern for hosting us as they have in previous years.
