The Amherst Railway Society presents another Kids ON TRACK event. On both days of the Show, we are presenting two "Make and Take" clinics. The first is entitled "Build a Flat Car Load" and the second clinic is entitled "Decorate a G-Scale Building." This registration process allows children 15 and under to participate, when accompanied by an adult.

Registration Information
Clinics are FREE, but limited to 15 children for each of the 4 classes.
These are "Make and Take" clinics. Each participant will be able to take the flat car (supplied by The Amherst Railway Society with the help of USA Trains and others) and the loads they create, home with them. They will also be able to take home the building that they decorate! Time permitting, after each clinic, we will run a "flat car train" on one of the G-scale layouts and place the buildings on a layout as well.
Cutoff date for Kids ON TRACK clinic registration is Wednesday, April 24. Parents must be present with their child/children for the entire clinic.
