There was also an active 3/4" "club" in the eastern NC area back in the 50's and 60's. Still quite a ways from Chattanooga. I visited one of the remaining members, Frank Kayler about 1974 who lived near Southern Pines, NC. Frank had just had heart surgery, but agreed to fire up his engine and run it on his L-shaped track. I lost track of him after that, since I had moved.
