CMT Welcomes New Members
The Calgary Model Trainmen’s Club, founded in 1938, is an HO scale model railroad club. We have one layout that the members run trains on and we also take it to Supertrain and Heritage Park Railway Days. We are also constructing a second permanent layout at our club location. New members, of all skill levels, are always welcomed to come and join us. We help teach new skills and we give members a chance to hone those skills by working on our two layouts.
Our location is #7-11 Street NE, Calgary near the Calgary Zoo and two blocks away from the Bridgeland-Memorial C-train station. We meet Wednesday evenings from 7:00-9:00 pm to run trains and have train related fellowship. A number of Saturday mornings we also get together to work on the construction and maintenance of our layouts.
You can also contact us in advance or to communicate with us by going to the Contact Us tab.
News and Events
CMT SUPERTRAIN Update
/The Calgary Model Railroad Society (CMRS) recently hosted its annual SUPERTRAIN show on April 16th and 17th. The show was an overwhelming success. It brought in the highest attendance on record and attracted some very well done layouts and displays. Major commercial exhibitors such as Athearn, Rapido Trains, and Hobbycraft Canada / True Line Trains were also in attendance.
CMT displayed its updated and smaller module layout (see a few pictures below). This was a great opportunity for the club to interact with the public and it was a great experience for the club members.
For more information on the show check out: http://www.supertrain.ca
New Year Club Update
