The Guinness world record for the longest miniature railroad is an amazing 2200 acre property in southern Oregon known as Train Mountain. I met up with Tom Watson for a tour of the railway, first from a golf cart, and later from his own gas-powered train. In a two-hour train ride, we only managed to travel on a portion of the layout!
I also got a look at G-Ville, the four acre section of Train Mountain dedicated to G-scale garden trains… and I’m seriously thinking about bringing some of my G scale model trains up to G-Ville to run on their layout.
If you’d like a ride on these model trains or visit the Train Mountain Railroad Museum, consult the Train Mountain web site at for operating hours.
Families with small children will find the Klamath & Western Railroad, located right next door to train mountain, is more suitable for train rides for young kids. Operating hours can be found at /
