John Doehring and the National Model Railroad Association

From a young age, John Doehring was destined to be a part of the National Model Railroad Association. In this episode, we learn how that journey began and how it has led John to leadership roles at the division, region and now national level. John also tells us about his personal enjoyment of the hobby through N scale modulars and how discovering operations deepened his love for model railroading. Additonally, John talks about his role as Eastern District Director of the NMRA and the changes the organization is making in regards to value for its members.
