Maybe hold a York type show in N.Y.C. I am also new to the hobby & don`t want to drive 3 hours- If they would do the same type show in the Javits convention center I`m shure more people would show up & get interested...Also when was the last time anyone saw a television commercial? -You would think Lionel, MTH, & other O guage manufacturers would run a spot pre holiday season- .......
I think the folks in the Orange Hall, like Lionel, MTH, and all those others who earn their living from our hobby, should band together and put on a show like this. The TCA does not need to be in the business of drumming up new customers for businesses.
