MSTS Atlanta Group nostalgia

I was sittin’ here thinkin’ about out adventures, and thought-Hey, maybe I’ll post some more pics.Welp, I got some pics, but I seem to be lacking in a bit of memory. I’ll see what I can do.The first trip we made was to the “Southeastern Railway Museum”, in Duluth, Ga. (Robert-jump in here, anytime).Left to right:
Robert (rdamon) Damon
Here’s the memory problem. I can’t remember his name.
Rob (dokkensound) Easterday
Me (Hawk)Had a great time.Our next trip was to ride the “Blue Ridge Scenic Railway”. Nice ride.Left to right:
Bill (Tree Frog) Burnett
John (astfdude) Tackett
Me, again
Rob (dokkensound) easterdayNext, a whole bunch of us got together in Chattanooga. Uhm! I’m drawing a blank on some of their names.On the steps-top to bottom: John Tackett, Me
In the cab, left to right: Pete Willard, Bill Burnett, and Robert Damon.
On the ground, left to right:
Rob Easterday, Keeter, and Keeter jr., and Chattanooga_Choo_Choo
We had another adventure, but I can't seem to find any pics.

Hey Guys, there is a Steam Run from Chattannoga to Summerville in October. I am planning to go one Saturday, perhaps we can make it the fall trip and save the trip to Smoky Moutain railway for next year. I need a train fix since I haven't had much time to do any building (virtual or Model)

OK, we have the following days avaialableSaturday Oct. 4, 11, 18 and 25
Sunday Oct 19, 26.Tickets are $77 dollars each. Includes lunch in the dining car. This is an all day run. Leave Chattanooga at 9am and return at 5:40pmOr if we can get 12 folks to come at $100 each we can get our own Private car (We can pretend to be Rail Barons.)
It would be the last car on the train and we can stand out on the observation deck and wave to the folks.Let me know and once we have a date, we can post in the in the other forums.

Was at a train show earlier and ran into someone from the TVRR and they told me that there is now a turntable in Summerville and it will be used. With the leaves turning there will be some great color on the route.

The way I understand it,there needs to be at least 12 people (or $1200.00) for the private car.
With 2 for you, that's 6 so far.

I will call the TVRR on Monday to confirm that the private car is still available. If I can be sure of serious committements and all, I will front the $1200 to cover the car and then you all can pay me back at the gathering. But first thing first, let me make sure the car is available.

Dan-I think we could come to little bit better arraignment than you paying the whole difference.
It looks like we have a good, possible, 8. That would only be 50 more bucks apiece.
I'm not speaking for everybody, but I'm sure something can be worked out. Besides, it's your Birthday. OOpps! Was I not supposed to say that?
I agree, the private coach would be fantabulous.HawkEdit 1: This is mostly for my benefit.
Here's the roster so far.
Dan, Bill, Pete (hopefully), Jim (2 tickets), Robert (depending on his wife's delivery schedule), Denny, and me.

Quickie question: I'm not "obligating" myself but I may have two additional riders (Mona's kids), no guarantee, though. After we get 12 is it still $100 a pop or is it just a flat $1200 for the car and we can bring as many as we want?If that's the case, I would think with a little promotion we could host a regular train-sim bash and get the ride cost down to a very easily affordable level....(well, given some of the goings-on at times maybe "bash" ain't such a good word!) but you get my drift....JBD

According the the TVRR, the cost for the car is $1290 and that is for 12 people. Anything above that is an additional $80 each (I Will confirm that amount today.)Since I quoted $1200 (my bad) I will cover the extra 90 dollars if we do this. We have a whole Parlor car to ourselves. Also Lunch is included and we have a private porter if the information I was given is correct.Again I will be calling TVRR to get all the specifics.

Just got word that the coach is booked. Looks like we will all be going coach which is $77.00 per person. We could go Pullman, but then it only seats 4 per room, so coach sounds like the best deal.Anyway, we are all still on for the 18th of October for a 95 mile round trip excursion into Georgia. Also they have a turntable in Summerville so it is steam all the way

I would think there's plenty of room. After all, we have a whole train to fill.
You and the new little lady are more than welcomed to join us. The more, the merrier.As to reservations, we all need to make them on our own. After everyone has made their reservations, I can contact the TVRR and request we all be in the same car.This excursion appears to be fairly popular, so it might be a good idea to make reservations early. As mentioned above, the private coach is booked up for the rest of the season. The lady I spoke with at TVRR suggested reserving the private coach early in the year, like in March. Apparently, by April, the coach is usually booked solid.Hawk"First thing I remember knowin', was that lonesome whistle blowin'-And a yungun's dream of growing up to ride-

Unfortunatly, it is assigned seating, so getting everyone together will help straighten out the curves.To make resevations, 423 894-8028
Enter ext. 12, or ask to speak to Betty Sanders. If she is not available, ask the person you're talking to, to bring your reservation to her attention. Also mention the Atlanta Train Simulator Group, and/or John Tackett and Ed Hawkins.The closer together, time wise, we can make reservations, the easier it will be for Betty to get us all in the same car.Oh!

Sorry, folks....I'm going to have to withdraw.... Since the trip has reverted to coach seating I don't feel as though it's worth taking a 3-day weekend at this point...More importantly, I have a seat on a VERY rare mileage AARPCO run in late September and that'll pretty much kill of my "discretionary funds" for a while.Thanks for making this event happen! I hope that I can participate in a future event.JBD

If you have purchased your ticket and neglected to mention "The Tackett Group" (as we're known to her), you will need to contact her for further assitance if you plan to join us in car 5.
The phone number is: 423 894-8028 ext. 12. Her name is Betty Sanders.
The sooner you make your reservations with Betty, the easier it will be for her to set us all up in the same car.Thanks,

On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I'm bound.
No-one could steer me right-But Mama tried."
