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
Supertrain 2019
/April 13 and 14, 2019 found us again at Supertrain in Calgary. After an intense amount of prep work leading up to Supertrain our club was awarded first place. Many hours on Wednesdays and Saturdays were put into the layout to add new modules and spruce up existing ones. A shout out to everyone’s fabulous contributions and hard work. A highlight of the two days was letting the public, especially children, drive the trains so as to get an interest in model railroading. Please go to the photos page to see pictures from our fun time at Supertrain.
