Please let me know if posting that violates the TOS. I am not the person selling it, I was browsing for something else when I came across a very nice collection!

You should see the TCA museum collection at Strasburg PA.

It's like Christmas morning gone berserk!

The collection I saw was like  TCA Museum but more modern

 

AND I HAVE been to TCA  Love to spend a day in that Library

Sadly, as a TCA member, I am not overly impressed by the TCA museum.  I have seen several collections that are of far better quality than the trains found in the TCA museum. 

My opinion of the TCA museum is that the trains are poorly organized, poorly displayed, and often inaccurately described by the small cards next to items.  One would think that with the knowlege available to the museum, that the display would be better organized and better described.  There are some great items there, but there are many more items that are not of the quality that one would expect of the TCA museum. 

The one bright spot to the TCA museum are the layouts, which are running modern items and are well maintained.

That's too bad, I loved the place.

Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

Just visited the Museum over Thanksgiving for the first time. I agree that the "collections" could be better organized, but there is a lot there. The layouts are excellent, nicely interactive for all us kiddies.
