Reply to "Did you join the TCA for the strict benefit of going to train meets (shows)"

 I think that the founding members of the TCA would think this topic a joke...

Would they find it a joke... Or would they be disappointed that a majority of replies from today's members have joined just to attend shows?  

It's today's leaders who have not found new and interesting ways to show membership has many different values to current members.

For instance, their publication mainly focuses on pre and post war toys and is still printed on newspaper print.  That leaves the rest of us in the hobby uninterested and out in the cold.  I am saddened to say my publication hits the recycle bin within 30 minutes of its arrival.  For about half the price, we can receive OGR on high gloss on varying topics from the last 100 years of model trains.

And the "making friends" part...  I've been a TCA member for a better part of a decade.  I've made more friends and acquaintances on this FREE forum than I have through the TCA.  So they have some competition there too.

No one should think this is a joke.  If TCA shows continue to get cancelled or fade away, by looking at the replies above, so would a good portion of membership.

TCA should be concerned... not laughing.

Respectfully submitted.

Ron
