The Great Train Expo was held at the Portland Metropolitan Exposition Center in Portland, Oregon on February 14-15, 2009. I only attended on the 14th and I only took a few pictures at this show, but I did get a lot of video. The layouts shown were not the only ones at the show.
Vendors
This Lionel 381E locomotive & "State Set" coach were being offered by one of the vendors.
The surprisingly detailed interior of the State Set coach has working doors and fixtures in the restrooms that would be invisible with the roof on.
The engine and 4-car State Set were priced at $2,250.
Beaverton Modular Railroad Club
An HO-Scale Polar Express was on the Beaverton Modular Railroad Club's layout.
The locomotive is actually a 2-8-4 Berkshire, just like in the movie.
There was also a hobo on the roof.
Scratchbuilt HO-Scale models of TriMet's new Westside Express Service (WES) Diesel Multiple Unit and trailer by Colorado Railcar were also on the layout.
This was only 2 weeks after the real service opened.
They're probably the first WES models anywhere.
NMRA PNR 4th Division O-Gauge Hi-Rail Modular Group
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 2-10-4 #6314 was parked on the NMRA PNR 4th Division O-Gauge Hi-Rail Modular Group Layout.
Pennsylvania Railroad GG1 #4876 was running on the NMRA PNR 4th Division O-Gauge Hi-Rail Modular Group Layout.
This module on the NMRA PNR 4th Division O-Gauge Hi-Rail Modular Group Layout has an early London theme, complete with double-decker buses.
Rose City Garden Railway Society

Two-Tone Grey Union Pacific 4-6-6-4 Challenger #3977 was on the Rose City Garden Railway Society's layout.
Here is another view of Union Pacific Challenger #3977 on the Rose City Garden Railway Society's layout.

Southern Oregon Z
A Z-Scale Pacific Electric 2-6-0 and caboose were on the Southern Oregon Z layout.
This intricate and detailed Z-Scale mountaintop fire lookout and cabin are on the Southern Oregon Z layout.
The video below shows footage from these layouts, plus the Cascade Z Modelers and Portland Area N-Trak.
