Well, since I seem to be spokesperson for the Crossville guys on here so far, lol, I'd like to say we'd love fo you all to stop by and check us out, we're open to the public Fridays 12-4, Saturday 10-5, and Sunday 1-4. Our website is: http://www.crossvillemrc.com/ there are some older photos of the layouts and such on there, as well as some photos of member's layouts. I'm one of the younger members, at 23, so I'm trying to be more proactive in helping the group get some more publicity. If you all need any more information, just let me know and I can go through the channels and help you out if possible.

Wow! sounds great! I should bring some of my locos just in case. I have been talking with people in the area about starting a G-scale club around the Murfreesboro/Nashville area. There are some G-scale guys in Nashville but their club seems to have disbanded. They never have seemed interested in new recruits ever since I first made contact with them in about 1999. I sent an application/request for joining their club and got nothing back but a vague e-mail of a meeting that was forwarded to all members. It didn't specify whether or not I was accepted or welcome to the club. I took that as a lack of interest for the 3rd time and have given up on them. Personally, I'd rather be a part of an all-scales-welcome club that doesn't seem so us-versus-them in demeanor. I've went to a T.C.A meeting in Nashville with the O-scale guys, they were so friendly and informative about things. They welcomed me to join them and start a G-scale following. I may just do that, they really liked my USA Trains GP9, GP38-2, and SD40-2.
If anyone around the Nashville/Murfreesboro area has G-scale and/or is interested in starting a club, let me know. It would be great to do things with the Crossville guys on occasion too.\

Well, if you're ever in Crossville on a Saturday, ask for Brandon, and I'll introduce you to some of the other members and such.. I'm always up to running trains with others too since I don't have a g-scale layout of my own.
