The original club organized in 1998 as
the Chattanooga Live Steamers with the intention of being
involved with all aspects of live steam scale modeling, including stationary
engines, boats and railroads in the Chattanooga TN area. The railroad
envisioned would be designed to accommodate public riders. A detailed account
of the early history reveals a slightly
different outcome. While the club does not have its own property, it is assisting in building the Eagle Point Railroad, a 7 1/2 inch gauge (1/8th scale) railroad on private property in Dunlap TN, about 50 miles northwest of Chattanooga, TN. In exchange, the club has full use of the railroad for it's education activities and members use. |
