DESCRIP- TION | The 1:22.5 scale GSLRR represents a modern-day narrow gauge tourist railroad inspired by the Roaring Camp RR in Santa Cruz, CA. It is a folded dogbone plan supported on an elevated treated-lumber base. The layout is a fully landscaped island design with four ponds and three waterfalls. The GSLRR runs steam locomotives pulling local freight and passenger consists. Patrons of the tourist road have three choices for their railfan experience: a Delton Doozie, a two-car open tourist consist and a 2-car Pullman set pulled by a 2-4-2 steamer. Lumber operations may be a thing of the past on the GSLRR but fans can still enjoy a run-by of a 2-6-6-2 Mallet and log disconnect train. At the height of the season, a 20-car Circus Train borrows the GSLRR right of way. |
