The Nashville Garden Railway Society
built and manages a club layout in the Vanderbilt 100 Oaks Medical Center.
We hold annual tours of club member's garden scale layouts, build a temporary layout at the Nashville Garden Show annually and hold meetings when someone will feed us.

Annual Garden RW Tour
The NGRS garden railway tour was quite a success (even if Walter's overhead display was a bit too loud) with about 25-30 visitors at each location and even more at Dr, McBroom's train ride and dinner.

If you have UTube videos, e-mail me and I'll post links in an article below.

second floor--next to the pediatric waiting room. Buttons on the walls both outside and inside the waiting room, allow children to run trains and operate features of the layout. We also try to change out the layout with seasons to keep it fresh for the kids. The layout is open to the public during Vanderbilt 100 Oaks clinic hours.

Kudos goes to Bill Martin for setting up a club layout at the Nashville Lawn and Garden Show this month. It was very well received and 36 visitors left their e-mail addresses to receive info from the club (when we have some).  Click Here to view more pix.

Moving the Layout

The layout was completely torn down and removed from the 100 Oaks location in August. The upper floor of 100 Oaks is to be redesigned by Vanderbilt University Hospital into a regional clinic. It is not yet known if the redesign will include space for a new NGRS layout.
