Ride on small live steam trains at the largest model railroad of any scale!
Train Mountain in Chiloquin, Oregon is in the Guinness World Record book as the largest hobby railroad of any scale with over 37 miles of track on 2,200 acres.
We visit the railroad for the 2012 Triennial meet where people from all over the world come to play trains. This is part 1 of a three part series covering the 2012 Triennial event.

I love this. Grew up in a family of railroaders here in Maryland. My dad was an engineer on the Western Maryland Railway. We were great model railroad enthusiasts but I felt a little melancholy watching this because I think he would love this and may have even volunteered at some point. What joy for me from watching this. Thank you.

Thank you for watching and taking time to leave a comment! We hope to get out to the Western Maryland sometime.

Sadly the Western Maryland has long been merged into CSX along with the B&O and several other smaller RR. If you come East, look me up!@@7ideaproductions

Very nice! My daddy built a 3,5" live steam loco from the Netherlands Railways. He sadly passed away 10 years ago but is was always fun firing and driving his steam loco.

Been through Chiloquin Oregon at least 60 times when I traveled from Alfalfa/Bend Oregon to Ashland Oregon to visit my mom and brother. I have seen the signs but never knew how great this place would be to visit. Now at 74 living many miles North in McMinnville Oregon I cannot stand for more than five minutes due to a nerve condition and three doctors say they have no idea what it is Long distance travel is painful.So sad..

Excellent footage and detail . Thanks , Stuff like this needs to be better documented in Digital HD so it can be remembered forever .

@7ideaproductions Жыл бұрын

Thank you! I agree about the quality. It was produced back in the days of interlaced1080i HDV, a format I could not wait to get away from.

@@7ideaproductions I've got the other 2 episodes saved and am looking forward to watching them . I was an early adopter of HD so I hear ya . My original channel started in 2006 when very few videos were even in HD and YT was just a place to store massive amounts of data for free . LoL The quality of this was very good so I hope you didn't take my comment to mean otherwise . I was trying to find a way to say this particular hobby has an aging demographic and could be at its peak , so it's nice to document it for future gens . All the Best .

Be cool to see some painted portrait cars. Meaning you ever seen a train painting stop by bison's? It will be cool to see that kind of stuff on trains/cars,you also can do fallen hero's.

Technically speaking, both vertical boiler locos are 0-4-4-0s and not 0-8-0s, due to there being two 4-wheeled bogies and not one 8-wheeled one. (19:30)

I hope to take at least one of my locos there some day, despite the fact it is at least a 4 day drive.

I thought it was only permited to run Oil or gas powered steamlocomotives at trainmountain?

@RLSHoggerSean 2 жыл бұрын

Currently, only propane is allowed. Oil burners aren't even allowed. This was filmed before the restrictions. As i understand it, there is currently a push to allow oil fired locomotives again.
