In the Ask MR column (p.18) in the July issue of MR, a reader sought information on Train Shows in Tennessee. Here is the information that I have, mostly in the Nashville/Central TN area.
Please feel free to add any I've missed and any info relating to the other areas of the State – Memphis/West TN and Knoxville/East TN.

Is Atlanta too far to drive from Nashville for a train show?
There used to be two excellent train shows every year in Atlanta. I spent tons of money there.

Living the dream.
For train show information anywhere in the country try these two sites, they're comprehensive and accurate. (Assuming the ones holding the shows tell them about it.)
