The Canadian Association of Railway Modellers (CARM) was formed in October of 2003 to:
- 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 focussed on:
- Operating Canadian prototype layouts
