From Rod Miller, the Chairman of O Scale West.
The tables above detail the Location, Admission & Table Rental and the overall Schedule for the meet.
As you can see, the location and registration fees are the same as 2026. The only major change we made was to change the time that the show is open to the public on Friday to 12 Noon - 7 PM. Saturday hours are unchanged at 9 AM - 4 PM.
We've updated the schedule (above) to include the times that the Clinics will be presented. We are currently recruiting people who might be interesting in giving a Clinic, so if you are interested please contact us at info@oscalewest.com.
We've also been recruiting On-site Modular Layouts to attend in 2027. We would really like to identify a group that has two rail "O" Scale modules that might be willing to attend. If you know of such a group, please contact us at info@oscalewest.com.
Those of you who attended the 2026 meet received by email a survey asking for your preferences and feedback. The survey has been completed. If you would like to see the results in a well organized presentation you can download a .pdf version of the survey summary.
The reality of OSW's existence is the work that the small Committee performs every year. Things always change - if at some time the Committee doesn't have the bandwidth to plan and organize the meet, OSW will stop. I want to encourage you to consider supporting OSW by joining the Committee. That doesn't mean you'll end up with a long tedious task at the meet. Most of the committee's work is before the meet.
Whether you are or are not considering joining the OSW committee, since we meet on-line via Zoom you can view committee meetings and participate if you wish. To receive the meeting information so you can join it with one click or one call, please email me at Rod Miller. Your presence on Zoom can be via a phone call or via the internet where a camera and microphone on your computer will pick up your image and sounds.
We will continue to update the website as more details become available.
Thank You!
Rod Miller, Chairman O Scale West
