Reply to "Observations From October 2016 York Train Meet"

We all should use York as an opportunity to recruit new members.  TCA is doing the right thing.  We need to increase membership as well as interest in the hobby.  You would not believe how many people are not aware that Lionel is still around producing toy trains, let alone the other manufacturers.  Maybe we all do live in a different world that no longer exists.  I grew up in the 60s and 70s, well after the first golden age of trains.  I can't explain why I like trains but I know that I have for almost as long as I can remember.  A TV commercial certainly locked in my love of toy trains in the early 70s.  Now there are no commercials about toy trains.  Everything is on the Internet.  But if you don't know what to look for you probably won't find it.  So I think the TCA is 100 percent right in trying to get the word out and opening the doors to the public.  I hope it works.  BigRail
