 TECO is a 100% National Model Railroad Association (NMRA) club supported by volunteers from the following area Model RR clubs and organizations: Train Expo Colorado (TECO) is a 100% National Model Railroading Association (NMRA) member club. TECO offers annual model train shows in Colorado Springs and provides an outlet for model railroad clubs and historical groups, excursion railroads, and vendors to promote their offerings. As an NMRA group, TECO uses these shows to promote the National Model Railroading Association and the benefits of membership, along with modeling clinics and railroading presentations. While we have operated as a nonprofit for many years, we finally secured our 501(c)(3) status. TECO encourages youth to learn about railroading by offering Scouts the opportunity to earn their Railroading Merit badge, exposing them to Youth in Model Railroading, and testing their skills on a switch puzzle operated by the module groups. TECO's mission is to promote the hobby of model railroading. TECO provides information to help attendees learn about NMRA membership, local model railroading clubs, shows, and destinations within the region where they can participate in railroading activities. This year’s show is at a new location. Norris Penrose Event Center, in conjunction with the Norris Penrose Foundation, has created a reasonably priced venue for TECO.
