Welcome to the 2025 PCR Layout Design & Operations Meet! This will be our 32nd annual meet!
The PCR Layout Design and Operations meet is a model railroading event for modelers interested in model railroad design, model railroad operations, railroad and local history, or any related topic.
What is the event?
This year's event is a mix of clinics and talks, in-person events, and tours of model railroads in the Sacramento area.
This is intended to be an interactive event. You'll be able to participate in:
- operating sessions on local model railroads
- get feedback on a current or future model railroad design
- chat at lunch and at breaks with other modelers about layout design and operation-related topics
- explore a local railroad-related place on a tour
- share what you've designed or built for your model railroad by bringing a poster
- show your layout design chops by competing in the Layout Design Challenge
When?
Friday, January 31 - Sunday, February 2, 2025.
A local tour and get-together event is Friday, presentations and local tours are Saturday. On Sunday, attendees will be invited to an operating session on a local layout.
Where?
The 2025 meet will be a hybrid event. You can attend Saturday clinics in-person at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, or you can partipate in the clinics via Zoom. Recordings of the clinics will be available to all registered attendees after the event.
How much?
