2015 Camporall Rides
On May 15 - 17, 2015, the Crater Lake Council of the Boy Scouts of America held their regional jamboree, called a Camporall, at Train Mountain in Chiloquin Oregon. The event was attended by 1265 registered scouts and leaders, and many other uncounted guests.
This video shows the boys, family members, and adult leaders having a great time receiving train rides at the world's longest miniature railroad.

Tour of Collier Logging Museum, Chiloquin, Oregon
Collier Logging Museum is Oregon's and perhaps the nation's foremost historic logging museum, and is located in southern central Oregon just north of Klamath Falls on Highway 97 near the town of Chiloquin at the Collier Memorial State Park.
This free museum tells the history of logging in Oregon including cutting, moving and milling from the 1860s to the present. The museum, which was started in 1947, occupies 147 acres, and can be toured in about an hour.
The timber industry was the main driving force in Oregon's economy for 130 years until about 1990 as Oregon produced more wood products than any other U.S. state.
Enjoy this quick tour of this fun museum, and check it out next time you're in that area.

Tracks Ahead
Tracks Ahead visited Train Mountain several years ago, and David Baule has given us a copy of the rough cut created for their show. Here is to living the dream!
Train Mountain Oregon: 4 Hour Electric Box Cam Ride with a Diesel Loco Tractor Pull At end
Train Mountain Oregon: 4 Hour Electric Box Cam Ride with a Diesel Loco Tractor Pull At end
=================================
This summers road trip was to Train Mountain, in Chiloquin, Oregon.
At Train Mountain ( TMRR.org )
We did a 3+ Hour ride up into the mountain on some of the 38 miles of Train Mountain 7 1/2 gauge track, being pulled by our Tesla Themed Electric Box Cab Locomotive.
When we returned to the Station, another group was doing a Tractor Pull with their Diesel Locomotive, to see if it could pull a HUGE loaded train. Over 40 cars, fully loaded with either freight or people. Estimated load was about 16,000 Lbs.
We had a BLAST!

Los Angeles Live Steamers
We are back to the Los Angeles Live Steamers to ride the trains and see the shops!
Last week we looked at the connections to Walt Disney who was an avid steam enthusiast and back yard railroader. Over time much of his railroad, the Carolwood Pacific Railroad, was moved here to LALS.
From their web site:
The Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum (LALSRM) was founded in 1956. It was started by train enthusiasts for the purpose of educating people in railroad history and lore and also to further the avocation of live steam, gas-mechanical and electronic railroad technology.
We operate our 7½” gauge model trains for the general public to ride from 11 am – 3 pm every Sunday (weather permitting). We also have extensive layouts for 4¾”, 3½”, G, and #1 gauge model trains.
The Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum survives solely on donations by railfans who visit and ride our trains (suggested donation $3.00). In keeping with our philosophy of giving back to our community, we also host special events for Children’s Hospital, The City of Hope, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Tri Valley Special Games and other organizations.
Trolley and train rides at Antique Powerland - Great Oregon Steam up 2018
We are back to the Great Oregon Steamup to ride the trolley and 7 1/2 inch gauge railroad. Antiques Powerland is a collection of small museums including a great trolley museum.
The museum is the Oregon Electric Railway Museum featuring historic trolleys from Oregon, Australia, Portugal, England, Brussels, and more. You can ride a restored 1913 trolley which ran in Sydney, Australia over about one mile of track with electrfied overhead wire around the Antiques Powerland area.
The group also operates a historic rail line dating from the late 1800s in nearby Portland. At one time electrified interurbans ran on this line from Portland to Oswego and on to Hillsboro, McMinnville and Corvallis. The Vintage Trolley itself is a replica trolley in the style of Portland’s own Council Crest cars. Two of the original cars can be found at our museum in Brooks. The Vintage Trolleys did run on the MAX Line and Portland Streetcar before coming to Willamette Shore Trolley.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Antiques Powerland is also home to a live steam group with a large 7 1/2 gauge railroad called the Willow Creek Railroad Museum. They give train rides as part of the Great Oregon Steam Up. The ride is about 15 minutes long with one and a half miles of track meandering through the trees and grassy meadows.
From their web site:
Willow Creek Railroad Museum is located at the Antique Powerland in Brooks, Oregon. We are approximately 45 minutes south of Portland and 10 minutes north of Salem.
WCRR was founded in 1975 as a place where live steamers could gather to share their interests in trains and enjoy outdoor miniature railroading.
We are dedicated to providing a historical account of what early steam and diesel railroading was like – the smells, sights and sounds – only on a smaller scale.
Our steam and diesel powered trains are 1:8 scale replicas - large enough for the whole family to ride!

Klamath Falls Area Railroads 1997-2002
An assortment of clips taken on 2 trips to the Northwest while passing thru the Klamath Falls area. Just south of the California border is Stronghold, the diamond crossing of the ex-GN Inside Gateway line with the SP Modoc line. The semaphores were on borrowed time in 1997 as the new color light masts were already set to replace them. The remaining views are from 2002 including an amazing panorama of Klamath Lake. No rock climbing involved, you can drive to it.
PSRM Motorcar Ride
The Pacific Southwest Railroad Museum operates a motorcar before excursion trains from Campo to Division to watch for any debris on the tracks. On the way back to motorcar follows the train to watch for any sparks from the locomotive that may start a brush fire. The speeder provides a bumpy ride due to the some of the old rails and inaccurate joints. Thanks to crew, Locomotive450 and JSurfliner457.
Model trains LGB
Nationaal Modelspoor Museum, Sneek, Holland
Treinen moeten rijden. Dat geldt natuurlijk ook voor modeltreinen, in welke schaal dan ook. Dat kan thuis, bij familie of een vriend. Maar ook in Modelspoormuseum te Sneek. In het museum zijn veel banen waar de treinen echt op rijden. Je drukt gewoon op de knop, en de trein vertrekt.

Model railroading is a hobby in which rail transport systems are modelled at a reduced scale. Involvement ranges from possession of a train set to spending hours and large sums of money on a large and exacting model of a railroad and the scenery through which it passes, called a layout. Hobbyists, called railway modellers or model railroaders, may maintain models large enough to ride. Modellers may collect model trains, building a landscape for the trains to pass through. They may also operate their own railroad in miniature. For some modelers, the goal of building a layout is to eventually run it as if it were a real railroad (if the layout is based on the fancy of the builder) or as the real railroad did (if the layout is based on a prototype). If modelers choose to model a prototype, they may reproduce track-by-track reproductions of the real railroad in miniature, often using prototype track diagrams and historic maps.
Layouts vary from a circle or oval of track to realistic reproductions of real places modeled to scale. Probably the largest model landscape in the UK is in the Pendon Museum in Oxfordshire, UK, where an EM gauge (same 1:76.2 scale as 00 but with more accurate track gauge) model of the Vale of White Horse in the 1930s is under construction. The world's largest model railroad in H0 scale is the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany. The largest live steam layout, with 25 miles (40 km) of track is 'Train Mountain' in Chiloquin, Oregon, U.S..
The words scale and gauge seem at first interchangeable but their meanings are different. Scale is the model's measurement as a proportion to the original, while gauge is the measurement between the rails.
The size of engines depends on the scale and can vary from 700 mm (27.6 in) tall for the largest ridable live steam scales such as 1:4, down to matchbox size for the smallest: Z-scale (1:220) or T scale (1:450). A typical HO (1:87) engine is 50 mm (1.97 in) tall, and 100 to 300 mm (3.94 to 11.81 in) long. The most popular scales are: G scale, Gauge 1, O scale, S scale, HO scale (in Britain, the similar OO), TT scale, and N scale (1:160 in the United States, but 1:144 in the UK). HO and OO are the most popular. Popular narrow-gauge scales include Sn3, HOn3 and Nn3, which are the same in scale as S, HO and N except with a narrower spacing between the tracks (in these examples, a scale 3 ft (914 mm) instead of the 4 ft 8 1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge).
The largest common scale is 1:8, with 1:4 sometimes used for park rides. G scale (Garden, 1:24 scale) is most popular for backyard modelling. It is easier to fit a G scale model into a garden and keep scenery proportional to the trains. Gauge 1 and Gauge 3 are also popular for gardens. O, S, HO, and N scale are more often used indoors. Lionel trains in O scale (1:48 scale) are popular toys. S refers to 1:64 scale.
Model railroad clubs exist where enthusiasts meet. Clubs often display models for the public. One specialist branch concentrates on larger scales and gauges, commonly using track gauges from 3.5 to 7.5 inches (89 to 191 mm). Models in these scales are usually hand-built and powered by live steam, or diesel-hydraulic, and the engines are often powerful enough to haul dozens of human passengers. The scale models include locomotives, rolling stock, streetcars, tracks, signalling, and landscapes including: countryside, roads, buildings, vehicles, model figures, lights, and features such as streams, hills, and canyons.
Die LGB bietet ein Modellbahnerlebnis für Groß und Klein. Hier können Freunde im Garten zusammenkommen und ihrem Hobby nachgehen, Familien können gemeinsam mit ihren Kindern spielen. LGB lässt sich wunderbar in ihre reale Gartengestaltung integrieren.
