Regular Memberships are for individuals seeking an active membership with all voting rights and Club privileges. Dues are $30.00 per month during the Introductory Member phase. We encourage you to join our work sessions, bring your trains to “Monday Open Run Nights”, attend Club functions, and get to know us better. When the vote affirms the Introductory Member, the member becomes a Regular Member and begins paying $75.00 per month at the 4th business meeting.
There are two ways to submit your dues online: First, by submitting using Zelle and sending it to Robert Rathberger, Texas Western’s CFO at cfo@twmrc.org. There is NO SERVICE CHARGE for using Zelle! Second, by paying your dues through our online store. The store can be accessed using the link below. This method charges a nominal fee to recoup the PayPal fees. The fees are highlighted on the dues page.

A Regular Member can sponsor individual family members with a Family Membership at
a nominal rate of 10.00 per month. Click on the link below for more information about Family Memberships.
Add Additional Family Members for an additional $10 a month each!
Another requirement is to be a National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) member. All TWMRC members must be current NMRA members. You will need to present your proof of membership to the Chief Administrative Officer by the third business meeting. When joining the NMRA, you will be given the option of joining for the annual rate of $68/year with free access to the digital monthly NMRA magazine. Alternatively, you may join at $92/year which includes the NMRA monthly printed magazine shipped to your address, as well as free access to the online digital magazine. Both are the same!
Prior to the third business meeting, your application will be reviewed by the Board of Directors and upon approval, will then be submitted to the membership for a vote.
While this process may seem long, it passes quickly, and you’ll have access to the Club and layout during this period.
