Message from Rod Miller, the Chairman of O Scale West.

Wow! O Scale West came roaring back in 2026!

At the meet on Friday and Saturday (March 6 & 7, 2026) held at the Portuguese IFES Hall in Mountain View, CA, we saw a marvelous resurgence in the attendance with over 210 attendees. We had twice as many walk-up registrations as we had for the 2025 meet.

In addition we sold all but 1 of our 68 tables, with a wonderful variety of items on them, there were four very well done on-site operating layouts, the model contest, seven clinics, many home layouts open for visiting. Doughnuts, wonderful pastries, and coffee were available throughout the morning, and marvelous hot spaghetti lunches were prepared on site.

The response from attendees was that they loved our choice for a facility. We'll be surveying the attendees to identify any tweaks in our format that may be appropriate.

Thank you to all who attended! We appreciate your loyalty and being able to serve you.

Rod Miller, Chairman O Scale West
