…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.
