SCP-587X -Model Railroad

Item #: SCP-587X

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: An isolation room in Sector-28 houses SCP-587X. Entry is barred without authorization from the project lead, and the interior is kept sterile. Climate controls must be maintained to simulate seasonally suitable weather, including precipitation when appropriate. Surveillance by digital recording devices is continuous.

Description: SCP-587X is an HO scale (1:87) model railroad diorama with dimensions 21.3 x 36.5 m. The handcrafted scenery depicts forested hills interspersed with buildings, a railroad, and other models which constitute the fictional township of Red Elk, Colorado. Each model is fully functional; plumbing and electrical power work, cars run on gasoline, etc. The town is populated by 1,270 living individuals averaging approximately 20cm in height. The residents can be observed behaving erotically toward each other throughout the diorama.

A resident of SCP-587X remains oblivious to foreign objects unless they make contact with the diorama’s surface. Items that do contact the surface are perceivable by inhabitants and often excite interest or confusion.

Residents of SCP-587X appear to be adult humanoids between age 20 and 50. Their cultural expectations surrounding sexuality are quite open, and they are often seen fornicating in groups or in view of other residents. The train travels around the model, making a stop at each end for approximately 60 seconds. Fornication on the train is prominent, and attempts to set up moving cameras to observe it without disturbing the residents are ongoing.

Records of significant events and behaviors of SCP-587X will be maintained by researchers.
