What Is An RPM?

Many modelers may be unaware or unsure of what a Railroad Prototype Modeler’s Meet is. Some modelers may even think that they are unqualified to attend because they “aren’t good enough modelers”. Others have been turned off of RPMs due to actions or comments of other attendees. 

Simply put, the Central Georgia RPM is a place to showcase your work (whatever it may be, in any state of completion), learn from others, and connect with fellow modelers! There are no contests, judging, limitations, restrictions, or requirements. You will not be thrown out for missing a rivet! 

The Central Georgia RPM wants to let you know that you are welcome to attend regardless of any doubt you may have – you don’t have to be “the best” modeler, you don’t have to have a completed model to show, and you don’t even have to bring a model!

We want you to walk in and feel at home with other modelers. One of the core features of this event are the regular tables with plenty of chairs for modelers to sit and talk around the models. Bob Harpe founded this event on that principle and will honor that as long as this Meet is held.

So, come as you are, with what you have, and we will see you in Macon in 2026!
