At Silver Rails 2010, we will be presenting a Modeling With The Masters program. Clark Kooning, Master Model Railroader, from Toronto, Canada, is coming to Silver Rails 2010 to present a series of four hands-on make-and-take clinics usually only held at NMRA National Conventions. Sign-up and get your seat for one of the most exciting NMRA programs ever brought to the PCR.

Attendance is limited to 15 participants for each clinic.

Each session lasts 4 to 5 hours and starts with a workshop, followed by a hands-on session where you will actually build a model aided by Master Model Railroader Clark Kooning. He will assist you, answer your questions and share his modeling expertise, skills and techniques. When the session is finished, you will be able to take your project home.
