The fenced yard on the west side of the museum building features a G-scale outdoor railroad project as well as historical logging and ranching equipment from the Sierra Valley. The G-scale train will be running on Saturdays through the season!!
The G-scale railroad spans an area that is 130’×60’ with multiple track routes and numerous bridges and tunnels. It will eventually have two towns (“Robsonville” and “Nelson Springs”) to honor local model railroad enthusiasts who contributed much of the trains, track, and buildings used, as well as ranch and logging scenes.
The Sierra Valley logging equipment display includes a huge steam tractor that pulled log wagons, and both wheeled and tracked pieces that were used to lift and drag cut trees to a loading location.
Our O-scale train layout celebrates the history of railroads and industry in the Loyalton area. The layout depicts Loyalton as it existed in the 1930’s and 1940’s, and features depictions of Loyalton’s logging, box manufacturing, and dairy ranching during that time period. It also includes replicas of historical buildings, including the Golden West Hotel, red corner store, White’s garage, and others. A representation of the Boca-Loyalton and Clover Valley Lumber Co. Railroads ties the layout together.
