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

Among these pictures from last year’s show, we see that our TRHA portable railway simulator was a popular attraction.
