Good luck. ?Hope this works.?
If memory serves TVRM had a relationship with NMRA when the headquarters was there, so they might be used to, and receptive to, unusual requests. ?

Is that TVA power plant really rail isolated?? I thought it was served by CSX on an almost daily basis.

Yes ... please stop using the "baby TM" identification?

Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum receives 'Baby Trainmaster' from Tennessee Valley Authority

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum has added a rare Fairbanks-Morse locomotive to its collection thanks to a donation from the Tennessee
Valley Authority.
The H16-66 “Baby Trainmaster”, built in 1958, is one of the few surviving Fairbanks-Morse locomotives, and one of less than 1,500 produced by Fairbanks-Morse
before the company exited the locomotive business in 1963. ?It spent its entire working life at the TVA’s Gallatin power plant near Gallatin, Tenn., until its retirement in 1997.
With the plant isolated from rail service, the locomotive languished at the plant until the TVA approached the museum about possible donation and preservation.
Extensive planning has taken place to allow the locomotive to be moved by truck to Chattanooga.
“TVRM is honored that TVA would place this locomotive in our collection for future display and possible operation” museum resident Tim Andrews said in?.? “TVRM’s mission is to educate the public on the role of railroads in developing the Tennessee Valley region and what better example than this locomotive to showcase the intertwined efforts of the railroads and the supply of electricity
by TVA in powering our economy.”
Plans are for the locomotive to be moved in time to be displayed for the start of the museum’s year-long 60th anniversary celebration beginning Oct. 14, 2021.
The museum is seeking sponsorships to help defray the moving costs; more information is??or at?60years@...
