Club Info

The Dixie Model RR Club is an HO scale Layout located in Nashville, Tennessee.

Dixie Model Railroad Club
2101 Belmont Boulevard.
Nashville, TN 37212

Please Note:
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the club is currently closed to visitors and is not holding regular operating sessions. Members may visit for layout construction project work as long as they take appropriate precautions to protect their and other members' health.

The club layout models the old NC&StL Chattanooga Division from Chattanooga, TN to Nashville, TN. The layout is intended to model the locale in the post-WWII to 1957 era - 1957 being the year that the NC was acquired by the L&N.

410 ft of Main Line is in place and operational. The current mainline runs from Chattanooga to Stevenson, AL. Trackage is complete, including signaling. Scenery is largely complete although there's always more that can be done.

Another construction phase is underway to take the line from Stevenson up and over Cumberland Mountain to Cowan, TN and on to Decherd and Tullahoma. Benchwork is complete for this extension and trackwork is complete from Stevenson through Cowan and part of the way to Decherd. Wiring is underway (as of Labor Day 2020).

The Southern Railway also had a major presence in Chattanooga. We model a short section of the Southern. The Southern also has trackage rights on to Stevenson, AL. Modelers may focus on the NC&STL, L&N up to CSX, and Southern & Norfolk Southern. Actually, members and guests can run equipment from whatever railroad or period they prefer to model.

The Layout is DCC (Digital Command Control), powered by Digitrax Systems.

Members:
Keith Summar, Marshall Summar, Terry Lovell, Mike Henry, Larry Perry, Dave Hiler, Matt McKnight, Mitch Mercante, Phil Boyter, Bob Wright, Rich Palmieri,
Peter D. Donofrio, John Andes, Glen Ryan

Good morning

An Adventist prophecy announces a terrible calamity for Nashville shortly before a worldwide Sunday law or mark of the beast (Luke 21:11 and Luke 21:25-26). 

Search for this documentary on Youtube:

A Warning for Nashville and the Cities of Earth

Several Adventist ministries say that there is very little left for the sunday law (Revelation 13:15-17). An event that is prior to this calamity in Nashville is (Daniel 11:40), which is developing and about to be fulfilled, according to Adventist prophecy, the king of the south symbolizes atheistic communism, and the king of the north symbolizes the west (current NATO), (See also 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12) Prophecy says that very soon a false alien messiah posing as Christ will give the papacy the ultimate power to rule the world (Revelation 13:3-4 and Revelation 17:18) as the world leader of peace and security (1 Thessalonians 5: 3) shortly after a great crisis in the world and Sunday is established as a solution to the climate crisis, a universal day to give rest to the earth, workers and families, no one will be able to buy or sell one day a week, neither rich nor poor, however before these great changes, a great crisis has to occur, there are only a few months left for this to happen, Leave Nashville immediately.

There are very few months left for a world Sunday law, and even fewer for that prophecy of fireballs over Nashville.

Search for this documentary on Youtube:

A Warning for Nashville and the Cities of Earth

At present, the great powers are fighting each other, but very soon a common enemy will make all the powers unite and work together, you imagine that soon the whole world is dazzled with the news that there is life in the universe, soon the cities of our world are invaded by terrifying presences in order to warn us of an imminent danger from outer space see (Luke 21:11).

Even a Catholic prophecy mentions 3 days of world darkness followed by a rain of fire and brimstone, in the midst of an armed conflict with the great powers.

I recommend a famous Adventist Church best-selling book

"The Great Controversy"

Ellen White famous Adventist writer of the XIX century prophesied how would be the days when we would live in the midst of a world Sunday law, a new world government with a new economic development model under the papacy, there are very few years left for the second coming of Christ (Matthew 24:30), please research the videos and please make your best decision.

I want to sell my N scale engines, cars and buildings. 14 engines, 44 cars, and approximately 20 scale buildings for a town and yard servicing plus some spare parts.
I have moved and have no space available. Not sure the value but I know it cost me a lot. Have pic of engines and cars. Anyone want or have idea where I could sell?

My name is Tommy from Nashville. I have a 3 year old who is over the moon about trains. I would like to begin modeling with him next year, but I know absolutely nothing about model trains. If it wouldn't be an inconvenience I'd like information on how to join he and I into a club so we can meet other modelers and start gaining the knowledge necessary to start his display. Thank you

When is your next event open to the public? I have a 2nd grade boy who wants to be an Engineer when he grows up and would love for him to see the HO layouts - the uTube videos are great, but in person would be awesome. Thanks!
