Copper Gulch & Bear River Railroad

Copper Gulch & Bear River Railroad Welcome to the Copper Gulch & Bear River Railroad is an O scale Model Railroad in the Old West. Welcome to the Copper Gulch & Bear River Railroad!

I'm a life long model railroader that lives in and loves the American West. The layout is a freelance model railroad in O scale that depicts the time period during the late 1800’s along the Utah / Arizona Border. The American West is alive and well with great vistas, towns, and rolling stock of the era. I’ve had numerous layouts over the years, but being a fan of the Old West I wanted to create so

mething different, a unique display loaded with scenes and vignettes that would keep my viewers finding something new with every visit. So let the adventure begin and I hope you enjoy the Copper Gulch and Bear River Railroad, “Gateway to the Great American West”.
