To give a counterpoint to some of the objections, what if TCA itself did the streaming/programs? Fixed webcams are an option, where people could check in and see what was going on, but why not do it inside TCA itself? Interview industry people there, maybe stream things like seminars or presentations, show some of the layouts, the new products, etc? To be honest, I don't think it would be wise to have "youtubers" (ie people with channels or Instagram channels) in there doing it (though to be honest, given the average age of attendance at train shows, I don't think that would be much of a problem). If Lionel or MTH or someone else gives a presentation, as long as they are agreeable to it (can't see why they wouldn't be, free publicity), why not stream it? Yeah, I can see the grumbling of some, that they spent the money and the time to go, why should anyone get it for "free", etc. If it is done by TCA they would be in control of where and when they shot, and also would be permanently available on You Tube where others might come across it.
