Track Levels & Information

The Craftsman program consists of 6 programs, to be known as Tracks. These will involve both craftsmanship as well as service to the the hobby.

Contact the CRC Manager Dave Burroughs for the documentation for each "Track" or go into the "Members" area to view "Tracks" where the documents can be downloaded as a pdf.

After the successful completion of each, a certificate of recognition will be awarded. When the entire six programs are achieved, or "the member has successfully arrived on all tracks", a CRC, or "Canadian Railway Craftsman" certificate, will be awarded to the member in recognition of outstanding achievement in the hobby of model railroading.

These members have achieved the following Certificates towards their Canadian Railway Craftsman:

  • Gordon MacBride - Track - #001
  • Dave Burroughs - Track - #002

  • An MMR, to be recognized a CRC, must achieve their MMR no later than October 31, 2005. Each NMRA Achievement Program will also be recognized and credit given up to October 31, 2005.
