I attended the Atlantic Division TCA Meet in northeast Philadelphia this morning and was very pleased to see what a large crowd it attracted. This meet is open to the public and there were a significant number of young adults between 18 and 40 years of age and numerous families with young children present. I have attended this meet before and never saw it this crowded. It was good to see. This meet is primarily post-war with a decent amount of tinplate also available. There was some modern era motive power and rolling stock available but in my opinion not a whole lot of which to mention. I guess to really enjoy yourself you had to like post-war. Nevertheless, the crowd was large, the buying seemed to be going at a brisk pace and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Prices for many excellent examples of post-war were very reasonable and the vendors were congenial and quite willing to negotiate. This one will tide me over until the spring thaw meet in Allentown next month.
