About TECO

Who we are

A 100% National Model Railroad Association member club, run by volunteers from the region's model railroad clubs.

Our mission

TECO's mission is to promote the hobby of model railroading.

Train Expo Colorado offers annual model train shows in Colorado Springs and gives model railroad clubs, historical groups, excursion railroads and vendors a place to show their work and promote their offerings.

As an NMRA group, TECO uses its shows to promote the National Model Railroad Association and the benefits of membership, with modeling clinics and railroading presentations. While we have operated as a nonprofit for many years, we have now secured our 501(c)(3) status.

TECO encourages youth to learn about railroading: Scouts can earn their Railroading Merit Badge, meet Youth in Model Railroading, and test their skills on a switch puzzle run by the module groups. Visitors can learn about NMRA membership, local clubs, shows, and places in the region to take part in railroading.
