I am looking for a contact with the large scale clubs in Crossville, TN, Nashville, TN, and Knoxville, TN. I know these groups have been active in the past. If you participate in one of these three clubs, please e-mail me.

Bob,
Be sure to plan to come to Dalton for the Big Southeast Garden Railroad Show next May 1-2. It is going to be BIG! Also, Three Rivers Rambler is a nice train ride in Knoxville. I don't know if they will operate when you are in the Knoxville area or not, but check them out.

Engineercub,
I have visited the Crossville layout at the mall and they seemed to really be interested in trains AND PEOPLE! I think you will enjoy that group. I would join if closer. But by all means, attend the Southeast Garden Railroad Show in Dalton next May 1-2.

Garrett,
I'll second Darktalon's statement that the Crossville's layout is worth the trip!

Engineercub,
The May 1-2 show in Dalton was originally in Perry (for the last 3 years) and hosted by Aristo-Craft Trains. A new promoter has taken up the show (he does the Heart of America Large Scale Show for the last 2 years). It is stricktly large scale. There are currently two Florida clubs, a live steam track, our Georgia Garden Railway Society's layout and hopefully a Tennessee group or two bringing operating layouts. Several BIG dealers are coming along with several smaller mom and pop specialty type dealers. The GA bunch will host a banquet with guest speaker and door prizes on Friday night AND a selfguided layout tour on Sunday. Yes, it is a BIG show, so please plan to be there. I will be there for sure!
Tenneessee Valley Railroad will host Thomas that same weekend. Bring the kids!

Guys,
Don't forget the Southeast Garden Railroad Show coming to Dalton, GA (just across the border into Georgia on I-75) in just 4 months! It has vendors, banquet w/door-prizes, clinics, live steam track, club layouts, and self-guided layout tours. This is just like a mini-convention! You can e-mail the promoter, David Roberts, at [email protected] to get on the mailing list for newsletters regarding the show. Feel free to contact me offline for any specific questions. Hope to see y'all in May!

Garrett,
The vendor list keeps changing as some are added and some drop out. Check www.segrs.com regularly, as new info and newsletters are posted there. You can certainly keep up to date at the website. When it get closer (about 30 days from the show I've been told and believe it or not, we are getting close to that) the list of vendors will be posted. Be assured that there will be large scale vendors at the show!
