A new series of workshops is planned at CB Train Junction. These will be held at the shop at 509 Colonial Avenue in Colonial Beach.
TOPICS
Getting that Train Ready for Around the Tree
This workshop is about that train set you only get out once a year. We will review care and feeding of these long-stored items to get them in running condition. We cover storage, unpacking, cleaning and lubrication of engines, track, transformers, and rail cars. We will unpack a train set and go over some simple measures you can take to get it running right. Come enjoy a fun time with trains and learn how to get yours running at peak performance to avoid the disappointment of having to make your train a static display rather than an eye-catching and lively addition to your holiday celebration.
Date: Saturday November 11th 2023
Time: 11:00 am to noon.

Picking the Perfect Train
Thinking about getting a train as a gift or for around the tree? This workhop is for you! The variety of scales and types of trains can be baffling. How do you decide? This workshop will review the different types and scales of trains and which are most appropriate for different uses. Whether you are a budding hobbyist interested in detailed modeling, someone who just enjoys watching the trains go around, a collector, or just interested in having a train around the tree, this workhop will give you the basis to help make your decision. We will review the scales of model trains and review the options and see some of them operating. It will be a fun time.
