Be Smart! Be Alert! Be Safe!
Railroad Safety Week Sept. 20-26.
Look for this train to be running at the club from now until the end of September!
Never sit on train tracks. It is extremely dangerous and can turn deadly in an instant. Please don't take Prom, Senior, Engagement, Wedding, or any other kinds of pictures on the tracks. For starters, you are illegally on railroad property. Second, if an article of clothing were to get stuck and a fast moving freight or passenger train were to come through, your wonderful pictures just turned gruesome!

Note this is Rated: G

08/19/2020
With our doors closed to the public it has allowed us to do improvements to the show room which we wouldnโt have been able to do while operating our normal schedule. Currently, our show room is getting a fresh coat of paint to freshen things up. Along with the repainting project the Ho scale layout is getting all new wiring to allow for smoother operations in the future.
We are still going to remain closed and ask for your understanding and patience. We hope everyone stays safe during the unprecedented times!

August 1st update:
In response to CDC and SCDHEC recommendations regarding the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, CAMRC model railroad displays will remain closed. When it is appropriate we will reopen. Thanks for the understanding.
Even though we are still closed we decided to bring the trains to you. Here is a short clip of A Pete Marquette 2-8-4 hauling mixed freight on the Ho scale Layout

Due to serious remodeling delays at the Danny Jones Complex we will need to cancel our show. We attempted to source other dates and venues, to no avail. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please stay tuned to our page for a new show date.

Take a look at this. Itโs the future of Amtrakโs High Speed Rail on the NEC between Washington D.C and Boston they are due to start revenue service in 2021.
They grow up so fast! Amtrakโs new Acela fleet, set to enter service in 2021, continues its progression at Alstomโs facility in Hornell, NY, and the first train, out of 28 trainsets, will be moving to Pueblo, CO in mid-February for further testing. This video shows off the new trains in action, highlighting the dynamic, sleek and modern exteriors that customers can expect to see along the Northeast Corridor. #Acela
