The Mooreway Railway was founded in 2004 as a simple loop of track for testing trains. Early in 2006 the board of directors decided it was time to expand the operations. After much negotiating over track right of way issues the board settled on an 18' x 30' area on the side of our yard to add another loop of track and some scenery to the layout.

However as luck would have it the construction of the railway was set back by many delays (including a snow storm, it only snows here once every 10 years.) 6 months and several redesigns later the track was final ready for operations.

The Mooreway and Lizard Gulch Ry has 2 separate loops of track. The lower loop runs under the Lizard Gulch Bridge and through the town of Lizard Gulch. Lizard Gulch was named for the lizards who quickly took up residence after its construction. The town of Lizard Gulch was constructed as a supply point for the Mooreway Mine and Tina's Timber products operations that are located along the upper loop of the railway.

The Railway has been constructed with simple track work for 2 reasons. 1) I like to just watch the trains in motion, and 2) Because I have young children and it was built with them in mind. The track plan allows for 2 kids to run trains without fear of collisions.
