Welcome

The Crescent City Model Railroad Club (CCMRC) is home to one of the largest HO scale layouts in the Gulf South. We are located in Metairie, Louisiana, just outside of New Orleans (aka the Crescent City). We model a fictitious railroad, called the Crescent Lines, whose mainlines carry freight and passengers to and from the beautiful south.

Saturday May 12th from 12 noon until 6 pm is our 2018 National Train Day Open House. See early steam locomotives on up to modern diesel locomotives running on the Crescent Lines.
We have also been expanding our staging so you can see what all the work we have been doing is all about.
We have a kid’s layout for children to run trains on and a Timesaver switching layout that you can test your switching skills on and operate the trains yourself.
