Such a modular model railroad is comprised of individual sections built by members in their own homes, all to common specifications so they can be fastened together in any order. The Society owns the corners and the track power supply. The individual sections can be brought together to operate as a group. Some members are involved in other aspects of the hobby such as O scale modeling, collecting Lionel trains, or have home layouts and do not have modules, but participate in all activities. The modular layout has been displayed at all but one Maritime conventions held in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI since the formation of the group.
Many members are skilled model builders and photographers.
The Society is always well represented at convention model and photo contest award ceremonies. Several members have had many articles and photos in all the major hobby magazines, as well as the annual Walthers hobby catalog, attesting to their creative skills. Everybody pitches in to help out when needed. No regular meetings were held up to late 1998, but many of the members got together informally on an irregular basis. Monthly meetings have now been scheduled, with the hope of attracting more modelers interested in modular model railroading.
