The Biggest Little Railroad in the World Part 1

Ride on small live steam trains at the largest model railroad of any scale!
Train Mountain in Chiloquin, Oregon is in the Guinness World Record book as the largest hobby railroad of any scale with over 37 miles of track on 2,200 acres.
We visit the railroad for the 2012 Triennial meet where people from all over the world come to play trains. This is part 1 of a three part series covering the 2012 Triennial event.

I remember watching this on RFDTV years ago, thanks for uploading this!

I love this. Grew up in a family of railroaders here in Maryland. My dad was an engineer on the Western Maryland Railway. We were great model railroad enthusiasts but I felt a little melancholy watching this because I think he would love this and may have even volunteered at some point. What joy for me from watching this. Thank you.

Great job and thank you for sharing. A great video the narration and quality of video is Penetrex quality.

[PhilipCockram]

Excellent footage and detail . Thanks,
Stuff like this needs to be better documented in Digital HD so it can be remembered forever .

Very nice! My daddy built a 3, 5" live steam loco from the Netherlands Railways. He sadly passed away 10 years ago but is was always fun firing and driving his steam loco.

I love the little boxcab at the end, the horn is as long as the whole engine!!

Fun! Fun! Fun!

From the people who bring us the triennial videos.

One of the volunteers, the last guy riding the last car in frame 17:22 looks like my CSM from Fulda, Germany, CSM Buford Prevatte.

Been through Chiloquin Oregon at least 60 times when I traveled from Alfalfa/Bend Oregon to Ashland Oregon to visit my mom and brother. I have seen the signs but never knew how great this place would be to visit. Now at 74 living many miles North in McMinnville Oregon I cannot stand for more than five minutes due to a nerve condition and three doctors say they have no idea what it is Long distance travel is painful.So sad..

Be cool to see some painted portrait cars. Meaning you ever seen a train painting stop by bison's? It will be cool to see that kind of stuff on trains/cars, you also can do fallen hero's.

I hope to take at least one of my locos there some day, despite the fact it is at least a 4 day drive.

[BeefTechnology]

Technically speaking, both vertical boiler locos are 0-4-4-0s and not 0-8-0s, due to there being two 4-wheeled bogies and not one 8-wheeled one. (19:30)

[m.moolhuysen]

Are there going to be signals on the gantries at hairpin junction in the near future?

[Railroader_Gaming]

wit, quick question, i wanna bring a few WP&YR narrow gauge engines and cars to train mountain for a triennial when i can get them built, just wanted to know the car limit behind an engine for Train Mountain triennials such as these ones. and whether or not i could run the trains in winter and drive them through snow ploughing the snow clear of the tracks, are people allowed to do that too??

[arthurschipper]

I love how the toys are actually being put to work. Full on scale railroading!

16:00 I thought only propane heated steam engines would be allowed there.

[johnstubbs]

I would love to build a steam train they look awesome
