Calling all young engineers to explore the world of model trains and unleash their creativity. Our club offers an interactive experience where kids can construct their own mini diorama railroad and connect with fellow engineers to create a railway landscape. The train club spans two sessions:
Model Kit Assembly: During this drop-in session kids will receive their model train kit and build it. They will also receive tips on how to create scenery to bring their miniature worlds to life. Then participants will take their model kits home to personalize and decorate according to their imagination.
Track Connection: Kids return with their decorated dioramas and with guidance kids will connect their individual dioramas to see model trains chug along the sprawling railroad they created. As well as explore two model railroads built by the Lisle’s Model Railroad Club and Chicagoland T-Trak.
NOTE: Kato Mini-Diorama kit included with each registration

NOTE: Only children completing the activities need to register, parents and guardians are welcome to join without registering.
