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.
Have you ever wanted to see this great layout in person? Have you visited us before and wanted to come see us again? Here is your chance!
We are hosting several Open House events this year.
Come ride the Crescent Lines!
Donations are $5 for adults, $1 for children between 6 and 12, children under 5 years old are free!
Hours for the date below are from 12 noon to 6 pm.

There are lots of projects going on around the club layout right now. There are new tracks and industries getting installed in the Crescent City Industrial District and bits of scenery being replaced and refurbished. We will keep members and visitors up to date with the progress here so check back often to see what is happening. Here are a few pictures of the return track portal from Crescent City that comes back on the back side of Nickolson that was recently upgraded with a tunnel portal and removable view block in case access is needed in that area.
We are working with Accurail to develop a 50 foot boxcar for the Crescent Lines as a 60th Anniversary Celebration of our club.
