San Diego Model Railroad Museum Summer Camp
Explore the multitude of disciplines required to build a model railroad. Working from a track plan, campers will construct an operational, themed HO scale model from track laying, ballasting, scenery construction, and circuitry. Campers will investigate and apply design principles, research unusual railroad cars, and learn why civil engineers use arches and triangles in the construction of railroad bridges. Scaffolded activities accommodate children of different ages. Full day, half day and advance modeling options available.
