Do we want the TCA to loose it's focus on collecting, and become another club for Model Railroaders?
If folks want to belong to a Model Railroading / Operating focused organization, why don't they look to the NMRA, or Toy Train Operating Society?

I think this is a very important question. Does TCA want to remain a collector's based organization, or be an organization with focus on both collecting and operating?

NMRA, like TCA, is a fine organization, but it is not primarily geared at O gauge trains. While TCA also includes S and Standard gauge, most collectors would be in the O gauge area. Not much difference in the trains that we have, only difference is in what we do with them (collect and/or operate.)

If TCA also emphasized operating, then maybe more folks would join the organization.
