ANN ARBOR MODEL RAILROAD CLUB

The Ann Arbor Model Railroad Club (AAMRC) is one of the oldest, continuing operating model railroad clubs in the United States. Beginning as a "round robin" social club in 1946, the charter members were soon fortunate enough to find a home for a club layout in the attic of the Mayflower Cafe in downtown Ann Arbor. A relatively new scale, HO, was the membership's choice for their new layout. After ten years, the cafe made plans for their attic that didn't include the club, so a location was needed. The members soon found another attic, in a general store, located in the Village of Dixboro, Michigan and moved there in 1957. HO-scale again was the membership's choice of scale and several members also built a small narrow gauge (HOn3) branch line that was very popular.
