News for September:

We had a variously successful weekend at Heritage Park’s Railway Days. The operational difficulties of keeping trains moving on a single line branchline were reinforced. This being the main reason for the new layout that’s under construction. We also have quite a number of members with only or mainly DC locomotives, and our “Branchline” is very hard to operate using DC controllers. On the plus side we got part of the new layout trackplan on the boards, and started some track laying.

November 26th , Social Night at 7:00pm at ‘Limericks Pub’, 7304 Macleod Trail, upstairs in the back room (Tullamore room).

December Social Night: date to be announced, at ‘The Dorset Pub & Eatery’, 1637 37st. SW.

Track-plan design using SCARM, main lines in red, branch line and industry/canal-dock in green. There will be a town over most of the station, and industry over track in the other corner.

lmages below are of the work under way, & will be updated as things progress.

July 15, trial setup, some hiccups, but it works.
July 12, Canal board finally on it’s legs.
July 2, Board building session, nice to have progress.

WE ARE a club of dedicated Railway Modellers interested in mainly British Railways. We are located in Calgary Alberta Canada. We’ve been together in one form or another since the mid 70’s, first as the Calgary Chapter of the BRMNA (British Railway Modelers of North America), then since 1993 as the CBRM, although still affiliated with the BRMNA. In 2021 we incorporated as a a No-Profit Society to formalize our operations. We are the ‘go to’ group in southern Alberta modelling British Prototypes in: N, OO,OO-9, and O scales. We currently have our large layout ‘Much Muddling” in storage. Our new smaller layout, ‘As Yet Un-Named’, being shown regularly at Supertrain in April, & at Heritage Park Railway Days in September while be design and build a dedicated Exhibitoin Layout.
