Trains! Trains! Trains! 2023 Recap
What an incredible weekend we had at The Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennesaw. Our location in the museum was unbelievable as more than 3,000 visitors coming through the museum passed by our display area. This year we displayed the club steamer, Coca-Cola modern tank car, 40ft Chick-fil-A box car, and a C&O end cupola caboose. The weekend would not have been possible without our North Georgia Live Steamers volunteers. On Friday, we had Norm, Thomas, Bob, Scott, and Robby go to the museum to setup our space in the museum.

On Saturday, we had Scott, Sherry, David E., Joe, Norm, and Robby greet about 2,000 visitors to the museum. We enjoyed the surprise most had when they came around the corner and saw our displays with pictures taken of and with each item on display. It was a close race between the Chick-fil-A box car and the club steam engine as to which was the most popular to get a picture of.
On Sunday, we had Scott, Norm, Susan, Bob, and Robby taking care of answering questions and taking more pictures of our display. We also wondered through the museum and got to see many of the other railroad and museum items on display.

This past weekend, Saturday, January 29th and Sunday, January 30th, North Georgia Live Steamers displayed at the Trains, Trains, Trains! event at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennesaw. What an incredible event giving us the opportunity to meet so many people interested in history and learn about our hobby. The museum was so generous to give us a space that was in the main walkway providing us to meet many of the more than 2,000 visitors. A big thanks to the museum staff, organizers, and NGLS club members for displaying and working the booth.

🚂 BIG NEWS, NGLS CREW! 🚂
The final push to finish our clubhouse and workshop is officially underway — and this is where you come in!
We’re launching a series of every‑other‑weekend workdays, giving everyone plenty of chances to jump in, lend a hand, learn something new, and be part of the team that brings this project across the finish line. This is one of the biggest upgrades in our club’s history, and we want as many members as possible to be part of it.
Whether you swing a hammer, paint a wall, move materials, or simply bring good energy — your help matters. Every workday gets us one step closer to celebrating a fully finished clubhouse and workshop at our October Fall Meet… and yes, we’re aiming to have it done this year 😉
Come out, get involved, make memories, and help build something the whole club will enjoy for years to come.
Let’s do this — together.

Trains! Trains! Trains! 2020 Recap
Thank you to all the club members who participated in the 10th Annual Trains! Trains! Trains! event at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History.
Thank you to all the club members who participated in the 10th Annual Trains! Trains! Trains! event at the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History. This was the first time in several years that NGLS has participated in this event. From what I’m told the last time we participated we still had the portable track, which is has been a while for sure. Wayne brought his American and Dan brought his GP9 showing off two different eras of the railroad industry. As is typical with the events we do both days are full of kids of all ages bouncing from all the different representations of scale trains.
The Model Train Show Mach 2019
Each year NGLS sets up at The Model Train Show held at the Cobb Galleria Centre. This year we went big and brought in some great show pieces.
