Founded in 2006, the Rappahannock River Railroaders is a model railroad club operated as part of the DCA. Based out of the DCA Annex Building, the club’s purpose is to promote the pleasure of model railroading.

The RRR’s home facility on the 2^nd floor of the DCA Annex houses three large model trail layouts – an O, HO, and G Gauge. A fourth layout lives in the clubs Caboose – a mobile model train trailer which appears at events across the region.

The public is invited to check out the train layouts at any of the several open houses hosted on Saturdays throughout the year!

In addition to the open houses, the RRR provides educational opportunities to the public in the areas of railroad operations, railroad crossing safety, model railroad operations, construction of model layouts, low voltage electrical wiring for layouts, model building, and artistic skills required in building scenery. We serve as a source for Boy Scout counselors on model railroading.

Interested in joining? Feel free to join us at one of our monthly meetings! Meetings are held at the DCA Annex on the second Saturday of each month at 9:30am (though check our schedule below, the Saturday occasionally shifts due to event conflicts)
