CAMRC members are train hobbyists dedicated to advancement of the hobby of model railroading through designing, constructing, and demonstrating train layouts in public sites and events, building local community awareness of its railroad history, and sponsoring educational activities about the legacy of the railroads in this region.

Club members are engaged with many railroads and are involved in several different scales of model railroading – including HO, O, N, and G. CAMRC Welcomes new members and “newbies” (newcomers to the hobby) are welcome at club meetings and club-sponsored activities. There is always plenty to do and learn in the world’s greatest hobby, so join the fun!

Families are welcome participants, and parents are expected to accompany their children to activities, become “coaches” to them, and learn about the hobby together. CAMRC is a club of active “doers” – not passive watchers – and there is hands-on work to do for adults and kids. Actually, we believe the work is “play.”

Some of our recent projects:

• Modular O-gauge display at the "Festival of Light" event held annually in Conway from Thanksgiving to New Year's Day.

• Modular HO-scale display presented at "That Bookstore at Montebanq Place" in downtown Conway.

• A fully scenicked HO-scale model railroad exhibit based on the Conway region in operations at the Faulkner County Museum in Conway.
