The Central Arizona
Model Railroad Club serves the Quad City region (Prescott,
Prescott Valley, Chino Valley & Dewey-Humboldt) of
central Arizona. The club does not have a layout but
serves as an information and social resource for its members
as well as engaging in public service activities. Many
members have home layouts representing all the popular
scales and gauges. The club
meets on the second Wednesday each month at 7:00PM
with a business meeting normally followed by a model,
prototype, or local railroad historical presentation. The
meeting is preceded at 6:30 with some social time and a mini
swap meet. Visitors are always welcome.
In addition to the
monthly meetings, the Club sponsors home layout open houses
and social events (annual picnic and Christmas dinner) open
to members and their guests. The Beat the Heat Swap
Meet, the largest in Northern Arizona, is held on a Saturday
of August in the Quad City area and typically has over 90
sales tables. Operating layouts, demonstrations,
seminars and layout open houses open to the public are also
provided. In early December each year the club
organizes model railroading displays in association with the
Gingerbread Village display at the Prescott
Resort.
