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.

It is with great pleasure that that we announce that CMT is now a 100% NMRA Club. By doing so, this adds great benefits to the club, The biggest advantage is that members now all have access to the members only section of the NMRA website so that they can gain more skills and knowledge from many experienced railroad modelers. As well members, if they choose, can attend NMRA sponsored activities. We look forward to this being of great use to all of our members.
