Intracoastal Model Railroad Club
Welcome to our Club’s website! We hope you enjoy our Club’s website and learning about what we do as a model railroad club.
Our Club
The following video will provide you with information about our club, what we do, and where. Come and take a quick trip and learn about our club.
Discover Model Railroading
We have Club members who tend to specialize in a specific gauge of model railroads. The most favorite among our Club members tends to be O scale followed by HO scale. Our members run larger G scale layouts. We have layouts from Z to G.
The Intracoastal Model Railroad Club is located in Brunswick County, North Carolina although we do have members who live in South Carolina. Unlike other North and South model railroad clubs, ours is a traveling club. We do not have a fixed building location like the other model railroad clubs. Our club meets at various locations such as club houses, the park during the early summer, and members homes.

Our Club Train Show at Grissettown & Longwood
We often obtain new members at our Club’s railroad shows and last year was no exception. Our Club is especially hopeful for gaining younger model railroaders. The Club is always on the lookout for new members who enjoy model railroad as much as we do.
Last year’s Train Show at the Grissettown and Longwood Fire House was enjoyed by all of the Club’s members. It was awesome getting out and discussing our hobby with those in attendance at the show in spite of Covid-19.
We had an enjoyable time setting up the various scale train layouts that the club has.
Young attendees and an extremely pleasurable time watching the various trains that were running.Next year we may have a train show in the Spring at the Rourk Woods subdivision community center. Please check back regularly to this website next Spring for specific details and regarding this Train Show.
Other train shows in which our Club participates in include Carolina Shores Clubhouse, Lake Wacamaw Farm Show, Cape Fear Regional Jetport, and exhibits at churches.
Curiosity
A number of layouts are made to look as realistic as possible to obtain the interest of the viewer. As much fun as being at the beach.
The Journey Begins with Track
Without track, there would me no model railroading. The smaller scale trains (HO, N, and Z) have two rail track. Larger scale/gauge track will have a center rail as well. Regardless if your layout has two or three tracks, the interest in model railroading is the same.
A Timeless Hobby for All Ages
This young man is quite interested in one of the Club’s larger scale layouts at the show. Our train shows are a learning experience for our members as we exchange ideas during setting up and breaking down our layouts at the end of the train show. We also enjoy the questions and interest expressed by our visitors!
Our Christmas Tree
We try to make a Train Christmas Tree every year. Check back to this website for information regarding our next Train Christmas Tree location and the dates and time.
Climb Aboard!
Hopefully you climb aboard and become a member of our club!
Trains obtain the attention of young and old alike. We look forward to the model train show just before Christmas. We also enjoy our monthly meetings.
