The Longview, Kelso & Rainier Model Railroad Club maintains a traveling HO-Gauge model train layout, which we display and events throughout the Pacific Northwest. This 12' x 23' layout features a double-track main line, a stub-end branch line, and a yard with engine terminal. Scenes on this layout include a grain elevator, industrial park, farm, coal mine, hunting lodge, waterfall, and small town. The club plans to display this layout at the following events.
