The EMRA was founded in 1946 but the history of the club fades before the time it was located at the Edmonton Gardens. It has now been brought to our attention that the founder of the EMRA was Norman Mould. His wife, Edith, has provided some stories and pictures of the club's founding.
Edmonton Gardens 1962-1980
Several layouts were built (both HO and O scale) were built
in the Edmonton Gardens.
Lion's Senior Citizens' Centre 1980-1991
The club met in a basement room, where we built a "portable" layout,
and dreamed of our own building. We carried the layout to
shopping malls, where we raffled 3 Macintosh computers to raise money
for our building project. Ian Jenkins prepared the story of "Searching for a New Home".
Fort Edmonton Park 1992-present
