What is N-Scale Weekend?
The 2025 N-Scale Weekend was an incredible success, filling over 24,000 square feet with everything N scale! Model railroaders of all experience levels came together to enjoy 13 operating layouts, 45+ vendors, and the brand-new N-Scale Weekend Clinic Room. Guests spent the weekend exploring detailed model train displays, connecting with vendors, learning through clinics, and having fun with the whole family.
A huge thank-you goes out to all of the sponsors who helped make the 2025 show possible!
We’re already looking ahead to the 2026 N-Scale Weekend, which will be held on September 12-13, 2026!
