HRCAA Inc. is a non-profit, incorporated association; devoted to collecting, preserving and running toy & model trains produced by Meccano Ltd in Liverpool, England, from 1920-1964. 

​​

Meccano Ltd was established by Frank Hornby in 1908, and produced a wide range of toy and model products including Hornby O Gauge Trains, Hornby Dublo, Meccano and Dinky Toys.

​​

The association caters not only for the products of Meccano Ltd., but also for other prewar and early postwar toy train manufacturers. 

 

These include British brands such as Bassett-Lowke, Leeds, Milbro & Triang, Australian brands such as Maurlyn, Robilt, Ferris and Scorpion, and European and American brands including Marklin, Bing, Lionel, Ives and American Flyer.

​

The association does not have an interest in modern Hornby products; however, many members do have an interest in modern 3 rail, coarse scale O gauge trains such as those produced by ACE Trains and Darstead.

​

The HRCAA has branches in all states and the ACT. We have a membership of nearly 400, including several overseas members. Monthly meetings are normally held in members' homes and visitors are most welcome to visit by invitation.
