QUOTE: Originally posted by roxin2002 If I were to figure out the cost to drive out there and back, lodging, food and the entry fee just to join, I could have a nice addition to my layout. I went to the TCA national when it was in the twin cities and there was allot of stuff there but very high prices. Now with ebay, I guess I don't feel I need to attendent york. Even our own train show in Woodbury mn is now mainley HO and it used to be almost all pre and post war. Not even any parts people there for lionel anyway. dave.

QUOTE: I have been a member of the TCA for over 22 years. That is longer than anyone else involved in this conversation, that I'm aware of. Please don't try to tell me I don't understand what it is all about. I have been to 4 national conventions, and served on the committee for one.

QUOTE: But if the TCA is going to grow, all different modelers need to be welcomed, be it guys like me, or on the other end, guys like Highrailjon. Otherwise, why would I want to join a group where I am going to be told my trains are worthless junk. Junk? Not to me!!! I would trade not one of my repaints for any postwar Lionel F-3... that's what my trains worth to me, price guide or not!!!
QUOTE: Originally posted by RI Jim I agree that TCA needs to change with the times. It's a dying organization that needs to do all it can to make the organization and its meets more accessible and freindly to the general public so that it may have a chance to grow. As TCA members, we have the power to change the rules. Let us VOTE and may the majority rule.
