Bill, My better half, the kids and I visited the Chattanoga area about 20 years ago and were pleasantly surprised by the Choo Choo Hotel. It was a Hilton then but later became a Holiday Inn. We tried to stay in one of the rail cars but didn't have reservations. I returned to the area when returning from a shoot for Verizon about 4 years ago. I visited the model RR club in the complex. It was nice but 'tired' looking. The TVRR is a neat little run. We had hoped to get up to the mountain where they're creating the Confederate War memorial as I understand they have a railroad up there of some kind, but I think that a longer distance (Georgia is it not?) to drive, not to mention that I'm a Yankee!
