models the  

   Commuter Train

"As you perhaps have heard Nashville will have a commuter line operational in about a year.  Nashville N-Trak has become part of the publicity machine to promote this service.  This is all because I was at the right place at the wrong time.  A month ago I attended a TDOT Public meeting concerning the department's strategic plan.  It was held at the Adventure Science Center.  Before the meeting I was talking with Larry Dunlap-Berg and Ed Cole, Assistant Commissioner of TDOT about RRs and the commuter train.  Larry had already told me that he wanted to buy another model train for the Adventure Science Museum, and they both thought it would be neat to model the commuter train so that people would have an idea of what it would look like.  I stuck my foot in my mouth and said that all of the pieces where available.  So … when I left we, I, was committed to build a model of the Music City Star Commuter train."

The operation will have three Train Sets using 3 F-40PH Locomotives pulling three car trains consisting of two coaches and one “cab control” car.  The "Tennessee Central RY Museum's" F40 will be on standby for emergency power protection.
