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. \nFriday & Saturday admission $35; Saturday only $25.

SUMMARY:O Scale West
DESCRIPTION:This is to update you on the planning for the 2025 meet. \nThe name of the meet will be changed to the event’s original name: O Scale West. The phrases Narrow Gauge West and S West will be dropped from the name; narrow gauge and S Scale attendance will continue to be recognized and encouraged in OSW’s communications. \nIt is time to recognize that the old days of OSW with 200 tables sold and more than 500 attendees are gone; until the demand changes\, OSW will be planned to be a 100 table 200 attendee event. \nLastly\, a long term goal that will take some time to implement\, is that the meet will be moved from Memorial Day weekend to OSW’s historical early February dates. The earliest this can happen is in 2026\, so stay tuned – when we have a contract in place an announcement will be made on our website. \nWith regards to the 2025 meet.  Don’t miss the biggest O Scale\, S Scale\, and Narrow Gauge Meet west of the Mississippi.  Save big on your O Scale and S Scale and Narrow Gauge needs at the amazing swap meet.  Shop 150 vendor tables with everything from brass to ground foam.  Learn at clinics focused on the meet’s namesake scales\, and visit amazing layouts in the San Francisco Bay Area.  If you model in or are considering O Scale\, S Scale\, or Narrow Gauge\, this is the meet for you. \n\nSee the world of larger scales and narrow gauge modeling.\nMore info and on-line registration is at our website for latest updates.\n\nThank you for your support of O Scale West! See you at the 2025 meet!
