Modular Group Listings

If you are looking for a modular group in your area that would possibly fit into your local train show you may just find that listing here. CARM is developing a listing to include as many modular groups as possible. The modular groups will be listed by province or territory first, from Canada since this is CARM, and than by city. After that we will list other modular groups by country. For each modular group we will try to have a couple of images, a description of the layout, the group name, location, contact information, distance they are willing to travel and if the group is currently accepting new members. If you want to submit your modular group to have it added to the listing be sure to fill out the form on this page. Remember the information for your group may not be fully accurate so please contact us with updates or changes. Thanks.
