As many may recall, we had to cancel our winter show scheduled for February 5 due to an ice storm in the region. We apologize again for any inconvenience this may have caused. The good news is we have rescheduled the show for Saturday, March 19. We hope to see you then.
Unfortunately, bad weather struck the Memphis area two days before our show and left thousands without power, including where the Casey Jones holds its train show. We expect the show will be up and running again in the spring.
We are still optimistic about the February TCA train show in Memphis. There is a possibility it could be canceled, but if things improve with COVID - as it looks like they are - then we will proceed as planned and hold the show.
Please come prepared to wear a mask to the show. It's a courtesy to others and a requirement by our church-hosts. *** This year's giveaway is now complete. The winner is a lucky youngster from the area who, as we understand it, will have to share the set with his cousin! *** Each year at its holiday-themed show, the Casey Jones TCA chapter gives away a train set to one lucky child. This year will be no exception. Join us with your child or grandchild on Saturday, December 4th, for a chance to win this LionChief remote-controlled set from Lionel: The drawing will be held around 1 PM on the day of the show. Child must be 14 years old or younger and have attended the show with an adult. Participants do not need to be present at the time of the drawing.
Please be advised that the wearing of masks will be required to gain entry to the show. Click here for additional show details. The Casey Jones Chapter of the Train Collectors Association is holding its holiday train show on December 4th. In the past, these shows have mainly been aimed at enthusiasts of three-rail trains. However, we have noticed interest in other scales from the general public and would like to encourage enthusiasts of all scales of trains and related items to participate in our shows. The only requirement to sell at these shows is to hold an active membership (Regular or higher) in the Train Collectors Association. If you are within range of the Memphis area, won't you consider joining forces with us at our train shows?
Please check out our page or contact us for more information. Have you been to the Memphis Railroad & Trolley Museum lately? It's back open again in Central Station in Memphis. This place is an area gem and definitely worth the visit for both kids and adults. With fall and winter approaching and outdoor activities starting to wind down, the upcoming season is an excellent time for a visit. Check their website for times and admission prices.
The Music City Chapter of the TCA will be holding their annual Holiday Train Show at the fairgrounds in Nashville. It's a pretty big show and worth the drive, especially for fans of three-rail trains. Check their website for more information.
In August, members of the Casey Jones Hi-railers set up the TCA chapter layout for public display as part of Train Heritage Day, an annual event sponsored by the Morton Museum of Collierville, located in Collierville, Tennessee. Just under 350 people visited that day and got to see trains and other artifacts meant to pay tribute to Collierville's railroading past.
The Casey Jones Chapter TCA shows plan to make their return this December with a holiday-themed show scheduled on Saturday, December 4, from 9 am until 2 pm. The chapter will hold their show in the usual location at St. George's Episcopal Church in Germantown. More information is available here. We hope to see you there.
