The Division Prepares for Model Railroading Season by Building Stuff!

DSED members gathered at a member’s home this weekend for a model railroad work session.

Members built 16 N scale T-Trak modules in preparation for the upcoming Comm-Ed Build a Model Railroad class which is to take place in Sioux Falls Tuesday evenings in November. Class participants complete an N Scale T-Trak module. Registration is necessary. Visit DSED’s CommEd page for details and how you can register for the event.
