Field Trip

Field Trip: CARM’s Copetown Model Railway Show

The Canadian Association of Railway Modellers (CARM) was formed in October of 2003:

  • to inspire.
  • to foster fellowship among railway modellers throughout Canada.
  • to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and skills between railway modellers.
  • to promote the hobby of railway modelling in Canada.
  • to be inclusive of all scales and interests.
  • to work in co-operation with other organizations.

Each year, CARM host a small train show just west of Hamilton and north of Highway 403 in Copetown, Ontario. The show is focused on:

  • Operating Canadian prototype layouts
  • Displays by model craftsmen
  • Railway Special Interest Groups
  • Canadian Model Manufacturers Displays and Sales
  • Photo Vendors

On February 10th, 2013, the Toronto Railway Museum was again promoted at the event with Derek Boles, our TRHA Historian, interacting with show visitors. 

Below, a number of photos taken by Stephen Gardiner of the TRHA takes us on a tour of some of the models and layouts that were a highlight of the event.
