Hey Ya'll <br /> <br /> <br />Buy, am I exited. I like to model prototype railroads, but the area I wanted to model never had a railroad run through it. Or so I thought. Last October. When we were making our yearly trip to Pigeon Forge (Dollywood too) and Gatlinburg Tennessee, we stopped in Cades Cove just outside of Gatlinburg. <br /> <br />We rode along a road that circles the parkalong the edge of the mountains that looked suspicioulsly like the roadbed of a railroad in most places (some grades were to steep for any train exept for a rack railway though they were steep, they didn't go that high. <br /> <br />We stopped at every possible log house and I took pictures inside and out so I could scratchbuild them. When we stopped at a recreation of the Cades Cove villiage, I saw some extrodinary houses, cabins, eaterys, and a grist mill. I stopped in the gift shop and I found 3 books about a railroad Ihad never heard of. I read with exite ment. I can't remember where itall ran and the name, I plan to buy the books when we go back this October. What do ya'll think about that. <br /> <br />Nick <br /> <br /> <br />
