Great Train Expo in Portland, Oregon in February 2008: Part 3

I originally posted these pictures on my old website on February 19, 2008.

…Continued from Part 2.

The Great Train Expo was held at the Portland Metropolitan Exposition Center in Portland, Oregon on February 16-17, 2008. I didn't take too many pictures at this show, but I did get a lot of video. The layouts shown were not the only ones at the show, but I focused on the layouts I didn't have photos or video of from earlier shows, and of course, the Longview, Kelso & Rainier model railroad club's layout.

These pictures show the Longview, Kelso & Rainier Model Railroad Club’s HO-scale layout on Saturday, February 16, 2008.
