Junior Engineer

A family favorite at our show is the "kids starter layout". This layout is designed and set up so children attending the show will have an opportunity to operate a train on a finished model railroad. The Sacramento Modular Railroaders club provides experienced members to demonstrate to each child how to operate a train on the layout. Then, the member hands over the controls to the "student engineer!"

After operating the train, the student engineer is promoted to "junior engineer" and given a "Junior Engineer" badge to wear on their shirt! The layout will be set up by the Sacramento Modular Railroader's layout. Junior Engineer trains will be rolling throughout both Saturday and Sunday.
