Del Oro’s Cemetery…..


At the edge of town, sits the Del Oro Cemetery, the final resting place for some of the most colorful and legendary folks in model railroading
To be buried here, your dues must be paid up in full, like our newest decedent, Hammond Eggs..
Epitaphs tell how members passed on: “He looked for gold and died of lead poison;” another reads: “Here lies my wife, Here let her lie, Now she has peace and so do I;” and, “Played 5 aces… now playing the harp”
Other epitaphs read: “Here lies dear departed Dave… he chased a bear into a cave;” “A victim of fast women and slow horses;” and, “Wherever you be let your wind go free… for holding it in, was the killing of me”
Grave markers and epitaphs
Look who popped out of the cemetery
