The Black Diamond Society of Model Engineers gratefully accepts donations that help preserve and expand our model railroading community. We welcome contributions of working locomotives, rolling stock cars, buildings, and other model railroad items. The gauges we typically accept include O, S, On30, HO, and N, though other gauges may be considered. In addition, we may accept real train memorabilia and hardcover books. Please note that we do not accept magazines or complete model train layouts (tables themselves). Other useful items that support our club may be accepted at our discretion, and monetary donations are always appreciated.

If you are interested in making a donation, we ask that you first contact us to arrange a conversation. Please send photos and descriptions of the items you wish to donate, and we will follow up with you by email or phone.
