Model Trains at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel

Sorry if i seem a bit intense but, as a former modeler/club member it burns me to see someone handle stuff so carelessly. Glad at long last they have the incline working and have added working lights to the foundry and have added the antenna to the ridge. Nice improvements. Glad to see the intermodal yard is still there in the middle. Did the prep work removing what was there before then others built the yard. I built the container crane an me an another built the office & car ramp. Miss it :'-(

As a former club member [job change back in the mid/late 90's first caused me to leave the club then eventually forced me to give up the hobby altogether. :'-( ] Hearing that guy say he knew just enough to be dangerous is all to true from the sound of it, idiot. If i'd been there an seen his half-ass handling of the equipment like that i'd definitly chewed him out and been ready to fight him. You want to treat stuff that rough go home & do it to your own stuff at home.

@BANDIT9998 As stated in my comment above i was once a member of the club and that guy wasn't around during the time i was a member. That layout was/is a club endevor over many years done and maintained by many people. His actions/comments show me he should stay outside the glass with the customers. >:-[

Darn, I was there last weekend and didn't have time to look at the Model RR Museum this time.

Looks like they've added a lot to it. I was there a year ago and don't remember the incline railway, the "fire" or the trolley....which looks to be the world's fastest trolley judging from scale-speed. :)
