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 most 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. The next one is February 15, 2025. It has running trains and many vendor tables with trains for sale. Don’t miss it. Contact show chair Richard Ridolfo to reserve tables and for more information. See the flyer and table information for the show.
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.
