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.
Crescent City Model Railroad Club needs your help with the Gulf Coast Bank Community Rewards Program
The Gulf Coast Bank has a community rewards program to grant qualifying 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations a chance to win grant money. See the attached article that was recently in the Kenner Star newspaper. We could sure use everyone’s help and vote to try to win a part of this $50,000 that is being given out to help with some much needed roof repairs and building maintenance. The voting starts on February 15 and runs to March 15. Votes can be submitted at www.communityrewards.com and you can vote once each day from any valid e-mail address. We are up against some VERY stiff competition, but we can at least try. Let’s try to get our friends and family involved to help vote for us once a day and maybe we can win a small grant to help with our building.
Please be sure to share this post on your own Facebook page so we can get maximum exposure and to get all of the votes we can get.
Also, please invite your Facebook friends and family to “Like” the CCMRC Facebook page too. That way we can get our “Like” numbers up and get even more exposure.

Open House & Membership
Thanks to everyone that came out to visit us during our holiday open house season. It was a great success and we were happy to have so many visitors and kind words about the layout, models and scenery. We really enjoy showing off our house to visitors. If anyone that came to visit is interested in becoming a full time member, we are accepting new members and would be glad to have you join us to help make the Crescent Lines even better.
