Greater St Louis and Southern Illinois Area
Spring and Fall Meets

The Gateway Division hosts annual Fall and Spring meets that have something for everyone interested in model railroading.  These meets are not your standard train show.  The Gateway Division meets have model train vendors, operating model train layouts on-site, home layout tours, clinics and presentations, a contest room and model displays, NMRA Achievement Program judging, door prizes, silent auctions, and more.  Everyone is welcome at the meets, from advanced model railroaders to those new to model railroading to those who are interested in learning more about the hobby.
