Crossroads Railroad Club Inc.

Our club runs an annual "Build A Car Clinic" at the local NMRA Division 3 show at Hara Arena. This year the show was the largest it has ever been. The announced attendance was over 5100.We had a great response with 52 people building kits over the weekend. The majority of the kit builders were teen and pre-teens and we had a very good time with the participants.

We tried to get the parents to work with their children at building the kits. This seems to work very well for us and the families. We had very nice looking and well running kits to build. We had Kadee couplers for the kits and a nice handout of an article from Model Railroader magazine, an article about how to make your rolling stock run better.

This was our best show yet and we are looking to a better show and response next year.

We are happy to acknowledge the suppliers who provided materials for our clinic, we thank them for their kind donations and we recommend them to everyone.
