Columbia Gorge Model Railroad December Show

I’ve passed the Columbia Gorge Model Railroad club’s building many times. Every December they have a show, and every December I make a mental note to go to the show. And then I don’t. Last December, I made a task in my calendar for November to buy tickets, and voila! I am now attending the show.

The ticket taker encouraged me to do the scavenger hunt, and I’m glad she did. It was fun to find so many little details.

Here we have Union Station and a few other Portland buildings. The lights changed so the sun went down fairly regularly; here is an evening shot.

I loved that this drive-in was showing a movie.

It was also fun to watch the people operate the trains.

In this cute streetscape, a Santa rode a bicycle around the building on a loop. It’s not only the trains that move!

This coal car filler was malfunctioning, so some assist was given.

This was a fun visit, and I’m glad I finally bought the ticket.
