The San Antonio Model Railroad Association, or SAMRA, is a group of like-minded people who are interested in
model railroading, from building and modeling to operations and railroad history.
Our members include men and women from all backgrounds and experiences, ages ranging from teens to seniors,
experienced modelers and people new to the hobby.
SAMRA is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization.
We are located in our own 4000 sq ft building, that we had built in 1999, located in a community on the northside
