Our Calendar of Events

The Cape Cod Model RailRoad Club is open to visitors on Saturdays in the summer and members gather on Thursdays of each month at our 1894 New Haven baggage car #3802 at the West Barnstable Train Station on Meetinghouse Road (Route 149). In addition, the club meets frequently for unscheduled events including the West Barnstable Village Festival, National Train Day and the Spaghetti Dinner at the West Barnstable Fire Station. The Modular Division of the Club also sets up for special events including the WBFD Christmas Breakfast. We may also be found at a number of regional events including train shows in New England.

No summer is complete without the annual West Barnstable Village Festival where the CCMRRCAM joins with the National Historical Railway Society of Cape Cod to welcome visitors to our home. Both the station and the club are fully operational, there are all sorts of train related events happening and the G Scale folks bring their massive engines and assemble track to see real trains run in model scale.

The Railroading Merit Badge is ranked #74 in popularity for Merit Badges, probably because it isn't always easy to get as the requirements swiftly move from modeling to history to operations. In conjunction with the Cape Cod Chapter of the National Railroad Historical Society, our wonderful neighbors who restore and operate the West Barnstable Station, and Mass Coastal Railroad who operate live trains on Cape Cod, we are hoping to offer a one-day Railroad Merit Badge in the Fall of 2026. Check back or email us for updates and to register your interest.

Scouting USA: Model Design and Building

Class Schedule: Independent Study.
Dates: Ongoing
Field Trips: Not Required
Age Requirements: Must be enrolled in the Scouting Program. Visit here for more info

Model Design and Building is a specialized Merit Badge that would be of interest to a Scout interested in building a replica of a railroad car. Our experience suggests using one of the models of our Bradley and Osgood Coach as we have all the colours and decals in house. This project may be worked on individually or with other Scouts in a group. Check back or email us for updates and to register your interest.
