diaoramas connected together

Learn how to build a diorama for an N gauge railroad, complete with tiny trains, landscapes, and buildings! You will build, decorate, and leave with a finished link to your first modular layout. You can work at your own pace. Once the units are completed, we will demonstrate connecting them and running a train.

The cost is $20 per child, while there is no charge for the accompanying adult. Feel free to bring snacks.

This workshop will fill up fast!

This session will be led by Jeff Peck of the IDiots T-Trak (Independent Dudes In Operation Top Secret) along with the Rockville Model Railroad Society.
