Welcome

Welcome to CARM, the Canadian Association of Railway Modellers, located in Canada but with members from many areas around the world. CARM is both for Canadians as well as those with interests in Canadian Railways or model railroading or both. Our membership in the organization is open to anyone that wishes to join.

Our members area has more content that is only available to members which includes an archive of images that have a Canadian Railway theme in a higher resolution than those available in other areas of this website. Also members have access to all of the newsletters ever printed by CARM as electronic downloads in PDF format.

CARM Conventions

Most years we have a convention held somewhere in Canada that allows our members and others to get together in one location and share of common interests, learn, teach, and socialize. If you have never been to a convention you may not know what you are missing. So think about joining us in 2014 in Thunder Bay, Ontario in late September early October. This is a change for the time of year and it will be a very different convention to attend. The fall colours should be in full glory at this time of year.

CARM Copetown Show

Each year in Copetown, Ontario, CARM sponsors the Copetown Train Show. "A Showcase of Canadian Railway Modelling" that includes manufacturers, layouts, displays and more. This next show will be in February, 2015. For the date, time and detailed information check back here regularly.

CARM Events

Each year there a number of CARM events that run organized by various chapters. Meetings are held in various locations and are open to all CARM Members. Guests are also welcome at most events. Check out the Chapter page as well as the Events page for activities in your area.
