Welcome to the Wisconsin Southeastern (WISE) Division of the National Model Railroad Association (NMRA)
The Wisconsin Southeastern (WISE) Division sponsors monthly meets for its members and the public, at no charge. These monthly meets provide an opportunity for the members and public to get involved and learn more about model railroading, as well as “real” railroads. In addition to the sponsored monthly meets, the WISE Division hosts Trainfest®, America’s Largest Operating Model Railroad Show as well as other events throughout the year.
