Train Mountain on your desktop!
Train Mountain is one of the world's
great railroad layouts -- live steam in 1/8-scale, located in a 300-acre
park at Chiloquin in beautiful southern Oregon. The layout
contains over 25 actual miles of track, is listed in the 2004
Guiness Book of World Records as "world's largest hobby railroad,"
and is now ready for you to explore with TrainPlayer.
For complete information including schedules and
upcoming meets, visit the
Train Mountain Website.
Two fine track plans are available for Train Mountain. The 2006
version (shown in part at left) comes as a set of high-quality GIF files
which can be
downloaded from the Train Mountain site. The 2000 version is
an aerial photograph of the entire park, sold as a 2x3-foot color poster
(right).
Both versions are available in TrainPlayer.
Each layout comes in seven separate files, each file covering a different
tracked area. Yard areas are enlarged, where countryside views are
more distant and can cover up to an actual mile of territory. The
train moves automatically between areas, opening and activating windows
as needed.
Note on the 2000 photo plan: some track was added to make the plan
more in line with the 2006 version, especially in Elizabeth River Loop
and around Central Station. As yet there are no lines on the photo
underneath this track, so it looks like the train is cutting across the
grass.
Thanks to Quentin Breen and Glenn Peterson of Train Mountain for
making this layout available and providing the materials. |
