Would you happen to have the street address of the museum, by any chance?

The official website doesn't even have an address listed... :facepalm:  http://unicoicounty.org/play/explore/attractions/

However, it's at the end of Federal Hatchery Road in Erwin, TN:  http://goo.gl/maps/tSOht   (it's the red roofed building closest to the tracks)

It's 4 dollars to go in, and it's open 1-5 seven days a week.  You will have to tour the house too (pretty sure the lady doesn't take no for an answer) but if you play along you'll get a grand tour once you get to the train museum (both buildings are part of the 4 dollar tour).  Also, highly recommend Friend's Restaurant (http://goo.gl/maps/qfM54) up the road in Unicoi for lunch beforehand, one of the best burgers I've ever had, but they had a wide selection of diner food available.  The people in the booth next to ours got breakfast and it looked killer as well.

After 9 months or so of hard work, our family has completed its latest scratch building project!

Born at 6:06 PM yesterday; 7lbs 0.5 oz and 22.25 inches long.

No name yet . . . and yes I am aware that's one of the things you are supposed to do in the 9 months leading up to event.

Now, where'd I leave my trains? :trollface:

Congrats to mom and dad ..   now you really need to get the kitchen done :) ..

Hello all...
the "ARBONADO" Ntrak module has been delivered to the very capable hands at AustNtrak...
and now, I can get back to some serious modelling of the Fast Mail and the Kingman Canyon layout...
recently acquired were the beautiful, limited run GHQ Pennsy express reefers; also, some very nice lasercut car sides arrived from Laser Horizons...an Erie Smoothside baggage express, and a NYC smoothside baggae express...these will really give some variety to my ATSF Fast Mail consists....
Thanks for looking,
Bruce
