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 the third Saturday of August near
downtown Prescott
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.

Club's
