The Encontro de Ferreomodelismo de Paranapiacaba is a railway modelling meeting held in the Cine Lyra, in the village of Paranapiacaba in Santo André, São Paulo state. The organizer, the Férreo Clube do ABC e Memória Ferroviária, coordinates it with the support of the Santo André city administration, and describes it as an opportunity for model railroaders and admirers of trains in general to meet and socialise: "Venha e traga a família!" ("come and bring the family").

The programme the organizer lists includes the Concurso de Ferreomodelismo (a model railway contest), an exhibition of models, dioramas and layouts, a special photographic exhibition, screenings of documentaries and images, a prize draw for people registered on the day and for the public, sales of model railway materials (models, accessories, publications and more), and workshops and talks on railway modelling.

The organizer says the registration forms and the regulations are made available electronically on its blog, and gives a phone number and an email address for questions about the meeting and about the contest. For lodging, meals and other attractions, it points visitors to the Santo André city website and warns that accommodation in Paranapiacaba is modest.
