Since 1993 we have been gathering to celebrate the joy of N Scale modeling, which in the earlier days was named the N Scale Collector. And, while many are still collectors, the organization has grown to include all lovers of N Scale.

Today, the gathering is known as the National N Scale Convention and is sponsored by the N Scale Enthusiast.  For five days in June, it encompasses such activities as layout tours, model contest, model clinics, prototype tours of places like railroad shops and factories, a live auction, a huge train show/swap meet, a Manufacturer’s Breakfast and the Dinner Banquet that are full of fun, and N Scale information, and includes thousands of dollars of N Scale prizes.

If all of that does not sound enticing, the fellowship alone is worth it all. We have come to call this an N Scale ‘Family Reunion’ because that is exactly what it is. Folks come from all over the world, but mostly North America, to share stories and models that both encourage and inspire for more.

The entire N Rail community supports this event showing their layout modules, during those five days in June, and enjoy running trains and sharing the love of N Scale in whatever community the National N Scale Convention has chosen for that year.  Speaking of that, the convention is held from the north to south and east to west and alternates between those areas each and every year.

The 2025 convention will be held in Kansas City and, as usual, will not be a disappointment. We would love to have you join us at this year’s N Scale event!  Whether it is close, or not, to where you live, make the effort.  You will be glad you did!
