Bill Norvell, Nep Malory and I drove up to Nashville last Saturday to attend the Music City Chapter TCA train show (I think that is the correct name). They had at lest 200 tables and I bet well over 500 folks attended the show. Here are a few pictures.
There were some nice layout. Chuck Campbell, who always supports our Memphis meets was at the show.
Here are some of the other layouts.

The show was rally packed with plenty of trains for sale. And yes, Bill and John Autrey were there with their post war Lionel trains.
Here are some pictures that show you just how big this show was. I would venture to say that the number of table was at least 2/3 rd the size of the White or Red hall at York.
I forgot to get the names and a picture of the folks who make this December train show in Nashville happen every year. They rally do a great job, and sale every table.
If anyone sees this post who was at the show please chime in. I forgot to get the name of the gentleman who was selling Atlas cars.His table was next to Memory Station. I believe his first name was Jim, and he was from Illinois. If someone knows his name please let me know. I would like to get in touch with him. He said he was a member of the OGR forum.
I picked up two undecorated Atlas Single sheathed boxcars from Memory Station, and an early Atlas PFE 40ft wood side reefer form the table I mentioned above. I plan to make one of the undecorated single sheathed box cars IC, and the other one Tennessee Central. Let the quest for decals begin!
Thanks for looking at the pictures.
