Spring 2014 Videos
Available
We are thrilled to make available
four new videos of toy train manufacturers, made last
week at the Open House at your National Toy Train
Museum.
Speakers include:
- J. Don Reese and other Lionel
staff, including Lionel's new President Howard
Hitchcock, discussing Lionel's new products and
strategic direction
- Mike Wolf, of MTH
- Paul Fischer, of Weaver
Models
- Jack Lynch, of
Bachmann
These videos may be accessed as part
of TCA's NetVision service, by visiting our website here.
Presentations
such as these are made on the Wednesday before York,
twice a year. This year's event allowed many TCA members
to see the recent improvements to the Museum, and to
visit their Reference Library.
For
those who could not make it, note that the Museum is now
operating on its spring season hours. A schedule of open
times may be consulted here.
-------------------------
Here we
are in May, and the 60th National Convention in
Philadelphia is only weeks away!
The
folks at Atlantic Division remind us that the tours are
filling fast, but there's still room for more on a
number of key opportunities. Even if you live in the
eastern seaboard area and think you've seen it all, why
not check out the tours still available? The region has
so many train-related opportunities, as well as the
historic locations, that this may be a great chance to
see the sights in the company of friends.
For
a list of the tours and events, visit their site here.

Using The TCA
X-Change Ad Search Function
In response
to questions about this search function, we've prepared
a How-To, with illustrations. This will be available
shortly on the X-change site below
the "Keyword Search" box, but in the meantime you
may download the PDF
here.
TCA is also taking a look at whether
some features of this service can be improved, but we
hope in the meantime you will find this to be
helpful.
