The Canadian Association of Railway Modellers (CARM) was formed in October of 2003 to:

• to inspire.
• to foster fellowship among railway modellers throughout Canada.
• to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and skills between railway modellers.
• to promote the hobby of railway modelling in Canada.
• to be inclusive of all scales and interests.
• to work in co-operation with other organizations.

Each year, CARM host a small train show just west of Hamilton and north of Highway 403 in Copetown, Ontario. The show is focused on:

• Operating Canadian prototype layouts
• Displays by model craftsmen
• Railway Special Interest Groups
• Canadian Model Manufacturers Displays and Sales
• Photo Vendors

In the pictures above and below from past shows, we find Jason Shron of Rapido Trains, one of the participating vendors, showing off his instant telephone pole product and a number of images of the fine modelling work on display at past shows.
