Each member owns one or more sections that can be transported and then connected with other modules to create an operational railroad. The members have displayed the modular railroad in different locations in New Bern. It is used as a means to educate the public and attract new members. The Carolina Model Railroaders have occupied a space in the old Southern Railway depot in Greensboro since 1975 and built a fine model railway there, which reflects the flavor of the full-size railroading in the area as it was and is today. There are about 30 members ranging in age from 15 to 85.
New members are welcome.
The Club has layouts in N and HO scales. Members model in N, HO, O and G scales. Several are narrow gauge enthusiasts and most are accomplished model railroaders with years of experience. Since the old Southern Railway depot will shortly be refurbished for use as a transportation center and the layouts must be dismantled, the Club is currently seeking a new permanent home.
