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 own 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 will return with their decorated dioramas and connect thier individual dioramas, with guidance, to see model trains chug along the sprawling railroad they created. They will also get to explore two model railroads built by the Lisle's Model Railroad Club and Chicagoland T-Trak.
