Great Western & Atlantic Train Show in Portland, Oregon in February 2006: LK&R Layout

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

The Great American Train Show (technically the Great Western and Atlantic Train Show) was held at the Portland Metropolitan Exposition Center on February 18-19, 2006. This train show was the first time that I used the video clip function on my digital still camera, and as a result I didn't take very many still photos.

Naturally, the Longview, Kelso & Rainier Model Railroad Club's HO-Scale layout gets far more coverage than the others, for the very simple reason that my association with it gives me much more access and better opportunities for photographs. Here is the Longview, Kelso & Rainier-only video from the show, followed by the stills.
