ScaleTrains & The Scenic City Express with Shane Wilson
About this episode
Shane Wilson discusses the upcoming NMRA National Convention in Chattanooga and the role of ScaleTrains in its organization.
What does it take to bring the NMRA National Convention to your backyard? That's one of the questions we asked of Tennessean and ScaleTrains President Shane Wilson as he provided an insider look at the excitement building around the 2026 NMRA National Convention, coming for the first time in 90 years to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Shane tells us how the idea took shape, the massive effort behind the bid, and the powerful role ScaleTrains played in making it all happen—from grassroots organizing to major marketing pushes across the country. Shane also shares how visitors to Chattanooga will be able to interact with the ScaleTrains team at their facility, at the Chattanooga Convention Center and on the rails too!
