Description
The Cairns Model Railway Club Inc (CMRC) was formed in 2018 to foster the interest in and development of model railways and associated model making.

Since inception the club has been donated an HO shunting layout, an N scale layout which replicates an industrial town in the north of England and two large HO Layouts.

The club has close connections with the National Model Railway Association (NMRA) which enables it to provide a public liability insurance for the club and its members when on official club business (i.e. meetings, public gatherings, etc). All members of CMRC are required to also be members of NMRA to achieve this.

The club holds informal meetings every Thursday evening (5.00pm) and a formal monthly meeting on the third Sunday of each month (10.30am) at it’s interim clubroom, to which all visitors and prospective members are welcome.

Please watch this space for news about our latest activities. The Club is currently operating in accordance with Queensland Government Covid-19 regulations.

Members and guests must advise us in advance that they wish to attend on a given day. They must sign in and out and supply a valid phone number, or email address each time they attend. We supply disposable cups for tea or coffee and you must use the supplied hand sanitiser before you enter the building. Social distancing rules apply.

It's a legislative requirement that you don't attend meetings or gatherings if you have symptoms of a cold, flu or other respiratory problems. 

Our Thursday evening meetings are very casual. We discuss a wide range of topics and focus on assisting newbies to overcome problems however trivial they may seem.
