Help a new builder begin
A $10 contribution helps provide a Mini Circus Train Island Kit to a local participant through activities at the WHEELS Museum.
Mini Circus Trains plans to distribute these sponsored kits locally at the WHEELS Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The goal is to make it easier for new builders—especially young creators and families—to try the hobby with a compact project they can make their own.
Please include “Sponsor-A-Island” in your payment note when possible. Contributions support this local Mini Circus Trains program. No representation of tax deductibility is made on this page.
“Official KATO N Scale track” means genuine KATO track is planned to be included in the sponsored kit. MiniCircusTrains.com is an independent community project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by KATO.
