Great Western & Atlantic Train Show in Vancouver, WA in November 2005: LK&R Layout

I originally posted these train show pictures on my old website on February 9, 2008. I have included a few that I didn’t before.

The Great Western and Atlantic Train Show was held at the Clark County Fairgrounds near Vancouver, Washington on November 12-13, 2005. This was the first train show I brought my digital camera to, and I discovered that pictures of moving model trains usually don't come out.

As my dad is a member, and this was the first time I'd seen the Longview, Kelso & Rainier Model Railroad Club's new layout in some time, it got the bulk of the pictures.

Here is a close-up view of the farm scene.
