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.

Update your membership information

We have been transitioning to newer types of membership and while doing this we have noticed that some members have not renewed or in some cases information has become out-of-date. Please take a few minutes and update your membership information. Use the 2018 membership form for updates as well as renewing or joining. Response to your update may take a little more time as this the holiday season and time for all our volunteers is limited so please be patient. Also be sure to use the 2018 membership form.
