What is the TAMR? . The TAMR is a non-profit, 501c7 organization run by teens for teens. We have members throughout North America and China and are actively working to promote the great hobbies of model railroading and railfanning among the youth of the world. . The TAMR is a special interest group of the National Model Railroad Association and exclusive National Co-Sponsor of the Great American Train Show. However, we are an independent organization and all decisions are made by elected TAMR teens! . We publish a quasi-monthly newsletter, the Hotbox, as well as quarterly regional newsletters. Annually we hold an international convention and many regions hold conventions on a regular basis. We strive to put teens into contact with eachother in order to make valuable friendships and have fun! Copyright© 1998 Teen Association of Model Railroaders All Rights Reserved Contact us here here
