Central AR Model RR Club (CAMRC) members are train hobbyists dedicated to the advancement of the world’s greatest hobby of model railroading through designing, constructing, and demonstrating train layouts at public sites and events, building local community awareness of the railroad history of this area, and sponsoring educational activities about railroading. Members enjoy traveling by train as rail fans, learning about railroads in this region, and sharing the fascinating history of railroads.

Club members are engaged with many railroads and are involved in several different scales of model railroading – including HO, O, N, and G. The Central AR Model RR Club welcomes new members, and “newbies” (newcomers to the hobby) are welcome at monthly CAMRC club meetings and club-sponsored activities.

Meeting time at the CAMRC is invested in sharing club news, planning future events, orienting newbies to the hobby, and arranging train layout learning/working sessions on selected nights and weekends. There is always plenty to do and learn in the world’s greatest hobby, so join the fun!

Families are welcome participants, and parents are expected to accompany their children to activities, become “coaches” to them, and learn about the hobby together. CAMRC is a club of active “doers” – not passive watchers – and there is hands-on work to do for adults and kids. Actually, we believe the work is “play.”

The Central AR Model RR Club is located in Conway, AR.
