New York Central (NYC) tinplate for NYCSHS convention display - Albany in May 2021 | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I'm looking for collectors who could be interested in an historical toy train display at the New York Central system Historical Society convention in May, 2021 in the Albany, NY area. My idea is to have an operating layout and display of NYC tinplate locomotives and cars. I'm thinking of anything by Lionel, AF, Marx and other manufacturers in the prewar era and post war to 1969.

My idea is to have an operating layout and a display rack. Anyone who can contribute NYC equipment to the display or exhibit will be welcome for even an hour or all day.

I can't find a web site for a TCA division that covers upstate New York. I need help in making contact with train collectors in eastern New York who might be interested.

There will definitely be space for this exhibit at the one day show during the convention. I'm organizing the show and making the floor plan, and the convention coordinator is on board with the idea.

One correction - It's in MAy, not June.

Well, if I'm reading your post correctly - it's either the Eastern Division of the TCA - the folks who organize York - or the METCA Division:

EDIT:

Some of the organizations on this site might also be of help:

Suggestion, edit your title and text of first post to reflect correct date.

Thanks. I didn't realize I could do that. Done now and will remember for the future.

Obviously, due to the ongoing present health crisis, there may be additional restrictions for large gatherings even at that late date.

That is no reason not to begin planning.

TRUE, and it sounds like a great event! GOOD LUCK!
