The "so called" modern era of toy train manufacturing extends from 1970 to date (1970 to 1985 MPC; 1985 through 1995 Kughn & 1995 to present). Many TCA members have an interest in this era, particularly in toy trains manufactured over the last 5 years or so. Technology has grown by leaps and bounds as have scale like qualities and appearance.
The TCA Quarterly (TCA magazine published quarterly) is looking for an author or authors who have the knowledge and are willing to write articles that cover the aforementioned modern era. Subject areas such as modern operation (TMCC + Protosound), collectibles, product reviews, noteworthy layouts (of any size) covering Lionel, MTH, K-Line, American Models, Weaver, Marx et al.
Please contact TCA Quarterly Editor, Mark Boyd
