Our friendly community here in Portland, Oregon is always looking for more helping hands. There can never be enough people to fill up the Gorge!
Are you looking for a large DCC HO Scale layout to travel around? Or do you have your own trains that you would like to see roaming around the Gorge when shows aren’t going on?
All flavors of trains and people are welcome.
It’s time to work on the railroad!
