Welcome to the Great Falls Model Railroad Club of Lewiston and Auburn, Maine. Our purpose is to help promote model railroading as a hobby and an opportunity for community outreach. The club's main focus is to help educate, not only from our members' knowledge of model railroading but also for the public's safety at railroad crossings and on railroad right-of-way areas through our involvement in Operation Lifesaver. We are a 501c(3) organization so donations are tax-deductible. Most members come from the Lewiston-Auburn area, but everyone is welcome to join.

Club meetings are the third Thursday of the month at our club building at 144 Mill Street, Auburn, Maine. Visitors are welcome.  Work on the layouts and renovations on the club building continue on Wednesday evenings starting at 5:00 p.m. and Saturday mornings at 9:00.

Next club meeting: Thursday, September 16, 7:00 p.m.

Next Adult Ed Model Railroading Class starts September 7
