Clinics

Clinics are where you go to get advice and treatment for what ails your modeling!

The 4th Division knows that many individuals are timid about model building, thinking that they lack the skills necessary to build good models and railroad layouts.  For these timid persons, and for all its members, the Division conducts clinics in several geographic locations offering skills training, fellowship with other modelers, exchange of information, and mentoring in the hobby. Members and guests are always welcome. Clinics are held in monthly from September through June. See locations below.

The meetings typically are two hours in length including a coffee break intermission. Speakers or other presentations are common. 

If you're not a 4D member, please attend one of the clinics below as our guest. Use it to help you decide if membership is for you.
