TCA Quarterly Looking for "Modern Era" Train Authors
Posted by lionelsuperotrack on Thursday, November 24, 2005 1:44 PM
The "so called" modern era of toy train manufacturing extends from 1970 to date. Many TCA members have an interest in this era, particularly in toy trains manufactured over the last 5 years or so. Technology has grown by leaps and bounds as have scale like qualities and appearance.

The TCA Quarterly (TCA's magazine published quarterly) is looking for an author or authors who have the knowledge and are willing to write articles that cover the aforementioned modern era. Subject areas such as modern operation (TMCC + Protosound), collectibles, product reviews, noteworthy layouts (of any size) covering Lionel, MTH, K-Line, American Models, Weaver, Marx et al.

Please contact TCA Quarterly Editor, Mark Boyd ( tcqeditor@sbcglobal.net ) or Mike Spanier ( hspanier@aol.com ) if you have an interest in modern era toy trains or have questions.

Any interest in modern era train lover, such as guys and girl 18-29? I am one of those and we are the future of the hobby and future owners of collections. What do we think is hot, collectible and interesting - no matter what era it was produced. What do you think? The only reason I have not joined TCA is for that reason, its geared towards someone older than my Dad and younger than my Grandfather.
