Steve,
IMHO TCA membership is well worth the $50 membership fee
If you have a real interest in toy trains, 100 + years old or new, the TCA is the place to learn about them, either through the Museum in PA, the TCA library, the TCA website or the TCA Quarterly (a true magazine).
You will also get the Headquarters News quarterly that lists trains for sale (you can list yours there too, free) and keeps you up to date on division and other TCA meets (this might be the "newsletter" referred to above as that is what the TCA calls it). By the way, this "newsletter" is usually around 100 pages long.
Just walking York (a super bargain at $12 for 3 (soon to be 2) most enjoyable days looking at the offerings and talking to vendors, you'd be amazed how much you can learn.
You may (probably will) even make new friends.
I'd like to hear your thoughts after you've been a member for a while.
Welcome
