TCA Eastern Division's York Meet: Best train MEET on the planet for the O/S gauge crowd and TCA supporters (regardless of whether they consider themselves to be collectors or operators).
Definitely NOT the best train SHOW by any measure. That distinction would likely go to events such as Trainfest in Milwaukee, the NMRA National Train Show, and a number of other such events in the U.S. and in Europe.
Opening the York meet to the public will, in my considered opinion, have little impact aside from possibly decreasing TCA membership ranks over time. But greater minds than mine have debated the issue and determined the way they want to go.
I have thoroughly enjoyed every York Meet I have been privileged to attend over the years (even those with crummy weather), so I am content to let others worry about the event's future.
