Lewis County Mall Model Train Show: January 1997

I originally posted these pictures on my old website on February 9, 2008. I have rescanned them.

These pictures were taken at the model train show at the Lewis County Mall in Chehalis, Washington in January 1997.

01 Willow Creek Railroad at the Lewis County Mall in January 1997

This live-steam locomotive was displayed by the Willow Creek Railroad of Brooks, Oregon.

02 United Northwest Layout at the Lewis County Mall in January 1997

Milwaukee Road E8-powered streamliner (also note the giant fish and the school bus) on the United Northwest Model Railroad Club's N-Scale layout.

03 United Northwest Layout at the Lewis County Mall in January 1997

The Milwaukee Road streamliner and a DL109-powered Southern freight train on the United Northwest Model Railroad Club's N-Scale layout.

04 United Northwest Layout at the Lewis County Mall in January 1997

The Milwaukee Road streamliner on the curved trestle on the United Northwest Model Railroad Club's N-Scale layout. (Immediately after taking this picture, the train derailed and several cars fell off the trestle. What a great picture that would have been!)

05 Lewis County Layout at the Lewis County Mall in January 1997

A pair of trains on the Lewis County Model Railroad Club's HO-Scale layout.

06 HO Scale Layout at the Lewis County Mall in January 1997

I don't remember the details of this small HO-scale layout, but note that it does feature dual gauge track. I believe the steam train is narrow gauge.

07 HO Scale Layout at the Lewis County Mall in January 1997

Here is another HO-scale layout featuring dual gauge track. I believe it is associated with the first.

08 Lionel Layout at the Lewis County Mall in January 1997

This O27 Lionel layout was a staple of the Lewis County Mall show. Here is a steam locomotive of the Pennsylvania Railroad on the layout's large trestle.
