pgrande posted:Your thoughts?
This one made me chuckle. The original post doesn't even list the usual reasons why the EDTCA shouldn't let the public in. So far, I haven't heard of any problems caused by the "public" at York. York is the best run, friendliest, concentrated collector train show of all time.
Of course, if you are a dues paying TCA member and in ED, then you could vote against allowing the public in the next EDTCA meeting. The rest of us are "guests" attending a local division TCA train meet and we vote with our feet and our money on whether allowing the public in is okay. I don't think the aging demographic has any connection to allowing the public in. And as Jim Berger asked, let's hear your thoughts, justification, etc.
Or since we are in the USA, start your own "members only" train club and compete with the EDTCA. That's the American way. I am always in awe of the logistics and quality everytime I go to a York show.
Please start a new show and give us two competing train shows to choose from.
