About Our Club

By

The National Capital Trackers (NCT) is a club of O-gauge electric train enthusiasts who run trains on train show layouts at venues in Northern Virginia, suburban Maryland and Washington, DC.  Our layouts are modular, and members build standardized modules.  These three-track modules are interconnected to form layouts.  We operate trains built by MTH, Lionel, and other manufacturers.  A 501(c)3 charitable organization, NCT welcomes members of all ages.  NCT has promoted the model railroad hobby and increased public awareness of railroading since 1990.
