All the information about Coast Division Auction Guidelines

At every quarterly  NMRA Coast Division Meet, we have an Auction that is rich with a wonderful array of model railroading treasures being sold by our members.  Brass locomotives, locomotives, rolling stock, structures, kits, parts, books, videos, magazines, and more are to be found - this is a rich resource for hard-to-find items long gone from the hobby shop shelves, and at very good prices.    Come out, browse, shop, and enjoy the fun!   You never know what you will find!

How does the Auction benefit the Coast Division?

 The Coast Division quarterly Auction directly benefits all of us, in that the seller automatically donates a small 10% of the auction selling price.  This small amount of money adds up over the course of all the items auctioned off, and is a significant source of income for Coast Division to pay for things like the Coast Dispatcher printing and mailing, expenses to cover costs of holding the meets and events, and other expenses to support our services to our membership.  

Most of all, of course, the items in the Auction benefit all of us as true bargain-hunters and treasure-hunters!  Come on out and see what is there!

To participate in the Auction

Any person who meets one of the following criteria may participate in the Coast Division Auction:
  1.   A NMRA member in good standing
Note:  You can meet the criteria for being a NMRA member in good standing, by purchasing a NMRA Railpass $9.95 trial six month membership, right at the Coast Division Meet from our Registrar.  That's a great deal!   Note that the Railpass offer is good in the U.S. only, and is for new members and those who have not been NMRA members for two years or more.
