This is a starting point for your journey into and through the wonderful world of model railroading. While we may not have all the answers here, we have links to many other places where you can find incredible information about our hobby.
Whether you are a beginner with your first train set, or a more experienced modeler looking for new tricks, tips, and techniques, we invite you to browse through our pages using the easy-to-use menus at the top of this page (and all our site's pages).
Our calendar of events lets you see model railroading events within and near our area in North and South Carolina. Most of these events are open to visitors and the public in general and you are invited to contact the sponsors to arrange a visit.

The North Carolina Transportation Museum needs our help!

Fellow CSD member Fred Miller MMR has graciously donated
his Trolley display to the museum and it has not had the care that it needs.
Marcus Neubacher has asked for some help cleaning up the display
to make Fred's work look as good as it was when delivered to the museum.
Please contact Marcus at 704-343-8292 if you are able to help.
