I am going. I hope it is not off... I was on the website yesterday and it is booked for 6/25-6/29 at Worcester centrum. I even checked the Centrum site which has it included for those dates. Any word otherwise, please post
It is spelled "Worcester" not "Worchester" (no H) if you are talking about the city in central MA.
I have not heard about this event this year. As I understand it, this is a very nice event with many structure kit manufacturers there. Seem to recall it was a rather expensive multi-day event with lots to do, but I have never attended one.

The O scale National convention has been an annual event since the 80s I believe, each year it is held in a different city/state, location tends to dictate attendance. The annual Chicago 2 day swap meet is usually the most attended [table holders and attendees] usually a host RR club or association runs the National and it runs several days[many side events and layout tours]
I have attended the annual O-Scale show regularly when I was in the Chicago area. If the schedule permits, it might be fun to go to this one.
Thanks for this thread. I didn't know the show was going to be in Worcester. I plan to go and do a little railfanning as well.
FYI the Lake Shore comes through Worcester (Westbound) aruond 1:00 PM each day. The Eastbound I believe comes through around 7:00PM. The CSX yard has recently been expanded and as noted the Providence and Worcester goes right behind the beautiful Union Station.

To be determined, if at all, or not.
