I agree. It seems that a joint sponsorship of Lionel, MTH, and others, at a nominal entry fee, would do a lot to futher the hobby (and train sales). As it is, the TCA Museum showcases both old and NEW trains, while providing hands-on layouts in a number of gauges. What the museum really seems to need is advertising to draw in more of the many people who visit this tourist (train and non-train) area.
