This year’s 2025 theme is:

Introducing “Technology: Advancing the ‘How-to’ for Prototypical Railroad Modeling” in 2025. This year’s theme addresses the impact of technology on our ever-changing hobby and how you can use the latest products, services, capabilities and devices to give you more believable and prototypical results. No matter what the need, from building models, or creating more realistic layouts, to running the trains with incredible realism, our hobby has made and IS making giant leaps forward. We hope to include topics such as: 3D printing, DDC & Sound, Train Control, as well as LED lighting. We will help you learn more about the magic of what is available now and coming your way soon. Join us in July to witness all this firsthand. Clinicians will be announced on our schedule page as we get closer to the event.

Friday & Saturday admission $35; Saturday only $25.
