Colorado Free-mo is an independent group of modelers located in the Denver Metro area of Colorado.

Colorado Free-mo has its beginnings at the GATS show in February of 2003 in Denver. Several modelers came together at the show to discuss the Free-mo concept and where they wanted to go with the concept. Out of those discussions Colorado Free-mo was born.

We realized that the "traditional NMRA" modular style of main line tracks arranged in a giant oval does not lend itself to prototypical operations or realistic scenes. Model trains should be surrounded by the scene, and not be offset to one side, as they make their way from their point of origin to their final destination.

Once we decided that Free-mo met our requirements with its single track main line, free-form module design, and point to point operation as well as its use of DCC for train control, all or our desired requirements were met.

Colorado Free-mo is open to all modelers who desire to take their modular railroading to a higher level. We consider ourselves to be a group of non-aligned modelers. Participation in any other groups or clubs does not include or preclude membership in Colorado Free-mo. We have no formal organization; rather we communicate via email or phone to coordinate work sessions and operating runs, and to exchange ideas for improving our modules and equipment. There is no group owned equipment, no dues and no elected or appointed club officers.
