2007 World’s Greatest Hobby on Tour in Portland, OR: Part 2 - LK&R Layout, Early Saturday

(NOTE: This website is NOT affiliated with World's Greatest Hobby; see www.wghshow.com for current info)

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

…Continued from Part 1 - Manufacturer Displays.

The World's Greatest Hobby on Tour Train Show is a traveling model train show that visits various cities across the country throughout the year. The show's schedule takes several years to complete. The show visited the Portland Metropolitan Exposition Center in Portland, Oregon on February 17-18, 2007. In addition to layouts and vendors, the World's Greatest Hobby show also features display booths for many model railroad manufacturers.

The Longview, Kelso & Rainier Model Railroad Club's HO-Scale layout is where I spent most of the show. This group of pictures was taken early on Saturday, February 17, 2007.
