The Biggest Little Railroad in the World Part 1

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 remember watching this on RFDTV years ago, thanks for uploading this!

[@stef.b.m.lk1902]

I see aussie locos. My favourite is the Vline Y class. Great video

[@vicargreg]

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.

[@7ideaproductions]

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

[@vicargreg]

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

[@PhilipCockram]

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

[@7ideaproductions]

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.

[@PhilipCockram]

@@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 .

I worked as joung boy on the BAVARIAN S3/6 Steam lok called the nice bavarian number BR18 in green! Have seen you have a typical "PAZIVIC TOO. LOOK TO THE BAVARIAN S3/6 please

[@alias9025]

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

[@sceptre1922]

One of the volunteers, the last guy riding the last car in frame 17:22 looks like my CSM from Fulda, Germany, CSM Buford Prevatte.

[@BeefTechnology]

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)

[@ranjankumarbhattacharyya9941]

Very nice video, thanks from India.

[@dougkubash8673]

This is cool!!

[@Dillon-Stu]

SO COOL!

[@John.S.Patton]

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.

[@steveholloway1963]

[@m.moolhuysen5456]

Are there going to be signals on the gantries at hairpin junction in the near future?

[@johnstubbs3573]

I would love to build a steam train they look awesome

[@modelrailroad6337]

[@tylermcintyre1454]

Tyler Mac hi I’m ah train fan

[@driveincanada9713]

[@twiggs24]

The Pentax voice is strong

[@tabularasa4880]

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

[@RLSHoggerSean]

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.

[@hexazalea1793]

So my understanding is standard gauge is like 1/8th scale if so what scale is the narrow gauge equipment using to be on the same track?

[@tylermcintyre1454]

Tyler Mac ah train from Oregon

[@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999]

What ever happen to those air dump ballast cars? All you videos I see now someone has to manually open the doors.

[@lakshitharathnayake6893]

[@tylermcintyre1454]

[@fanatichighdesertrailroader]

Any idea on when the 2022 will be out?

[@Tank245]

My guess is 2032 based on when this video was released and when the 2012 triennial was lol

[@7ideaproductions]

It is in post production now. Shooting for sometime in September.

[@fanatichighdesertrailroader]
