This page is designed as a resource library from our membership meeting presentations or clinics. We will post PDFs of slide shows or handouts about railroad or modeling topics from Susquehanna Division meets to this page.

David Ellis’s presentation on earning the Golden Spike. The Golden Spike Award is often seen as a entry into the NMRA’s Achievement Program or as a guide to improving one’s model railroad skiil set. Please note that the second part of this clinic discusses a finished model railroad that goes way beyond the basic requirements.

He also suggests this “hidden” NMRA page and this NMRA Edutrain clinic: Earning the Golden Spike. (You will need to be signed in to the NMRA website as a registered member to access the Edutrain clinic.)
