Our Club takes our train layouts (they’re never the same) to many venues around the state of Maine. Below is a list of club events open to the public.
Club meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month at 7PM via Zoom.
On other Thursday’s of the month, again at 7PM, the Club hosts an informal on-line Zoom conversation titled“The M3R Roundhouse.” These are lively conversations regarding anything to do with the model railroading hobby and are open to all.
Many of our members hold open houses of their layout’s each year that are a great way for everyone to visit and talk about trains.
Finally, our big event each year is the M3R Show at the Augusta Armory each February. We hope you attended the show this year, and we will see you again next time.
Here is a link to a comprehensive schedule that details all known Train Shows in New England by state and start date. This list is updated monthly, courtesy of member Sam Carr.
Public Events Where We Will be Running Trains
Cumberland Fair is the Maine 3Railers largest and longest layout event. The layout is in the Industrial Building and runs from 9am-9pm during the Fair. It includes model steam trains, diesel trains and trolleys. Visitors can operate trains with remote controls and run accessories including the Barrel Loader, which is the kid’s favorite.
