Get ready for Trains.com Summer Camp 2023! From Aug. 28-Sept. 3, Camp Director David Popp will present members with an all-new series of videos — one each day of the week — addressing modeling, weathering, scenery, and more!

Unlike traditional camp activities, such as fishing, hiking, and canoeing, our summer camp features all-things model railroading. It includes helpful tips, techniques, and advice that you can use on your layout, regardless of scale. And the best part: No poison ivy or mosquito bites!

Projects featured in Summer Camp 2023 include:

Install a DCC capacitor pack to improve sound-equipped locomotive operation

  • Build a king post truss bridge wood kit
  • Letter and decal a steam locomotive
  • Build a white-metal vehicle kit
  • Weather a wooden boxcar
  • Prep and paint assorted metal, resin, and laser-cut wood layout details
  • Paint O scale chickens (Yes, we’re really painting chickens – who wouldn’t want to?)

This special series is exclusively for Trains.com Unlimited members, so be sure your membership is up to date. You won’t want to miss a single day of Summer Camp 2023!

  1. Love that we get video on all the small(er) projects too. These are often the ones that vex us modelers the most, thus slowing potential progress (and fun).
