Shady Dell Pacific Railroad
(NOTE: This website is NOT affiliated with PNLS or Shady Dell; visit www.pnls.org for current info)
The Shady Dell Pacific Railroad is a 1-1/2":1' scale outdoor model railroad located in Molalla, Oregon and operated by the Pacific Northwest Live Steamers. My family has been to Shady Dell a number of times over the years. Here are some pictures from a couple of those visits.
1995
Here
is a Milwaukee Road "Little Joe" electric pulling an empty train.
Most
of the railroad equipment belongs to individual members, but this
orange SW1500 belongs to the Pacific Northwest Live Steamers club for
use by all members.
Here
is another picture of the Pacific Northwest Live Steamers'
orange SW1500.
1998
Here
is 4-6-0 #28 blowing off a little steam before pulling into the station.
Another
locomotive that belongs to the Pacific Northwest Live Steamers club is
green and white
SW1500 #1956.
Great
Northern 2-8-2 Mikado #2424 is visiting from the
Kitsap Live
Steamers of Port Orchard, Washington.
Here
is 4-6-0 #28 pulling passengers across a bridge.
Pennsylvania
Railroad GG1
#4867 is sitting on one of the elevated tracks around the elevated
turntable. These elevated tracks allow for easier unloading and loading
of visiting equipment and allow easier access to the locomotives for
maintenance.
Another
picture of 4-6-0 #28. The elevated turntable is just out of the picture
to the left.

background.
An
old-time 4-4-0 American pulls a short train.

getting low in the sky.
