Colorado Model Railroad Museum, Colorado

The Oregon California and Eastern HO layout, covering 5,500 square feet, is the main attraction at the Colorado Model Railroad Museum. It is a freelance-style model, based on the actual OC&E rail line in south, central, and western Oregon, between Klamath Falls and Lakeview, in the autumn of 1975.  The single main line is 1,244 feet long, or 20.53 HO scale miles, and there are 15 separate wiring systems. The layout is the vision of David Trussell, who had lived in south-central Oregon and observed the OC&E logging line in action, which in part inspired the layout’s regional focus and logging theme.
