Welcome to the 2027 PCR Layout Design & Operations Meet! This will be our 34th 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 operating sessions at model railroads in the Oakland-Alameda 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
- visit local model railroads
- show your layout design chops by competing in the Layout Design Challenge
When?
Friday, January 29 - Sunday, January 31, 2027
Presentations and consultations are on Saturday. Layout tours are on Saturday night. Operating sessions are on Sunday.
Where?
The 2027 meet will be a hybrid event. You can attend Sunday clinics in-person at the Mastick Senior Center in Alameda, 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?
Details on tickets will be posted closer to the event.
