The Flagstaff Model Railroad Club encourages and promotes all aspects of the hobby of model railroading for anyone interested, regardless of skill level or experience. Club members meet regularly on Tuesday nights to operate trains or to work on the layout. The club culture can be described as family-oriented and informal. Club members regularly operate their own model trains on the Club's Mountain Pacific Lines layout, and children of club members may operate their own trains under supervision during regular club meetings. There are no restrictions pertaining to type or quality of model railroad equipment operated, and any "road name" is allowed on the layout at any time.

Our Club is a 501C7 nonprofit organization that operates under a guiding set of Bylaws and responsibilities. Club members represent a wide range of ages, occupations, cultural backgrounds, model railroading experiences, prototype railroad interests and modeling eras. Such diversity is considered a dominant strength of the Club and its membership.
