It's O Gauge.  It's the former Weaver tooling.  Now part of Lionel's LionScale line.

Seems very unproductive not allowing everyone to see the offerings and probably could have gotten some new members if they could only see what you are selling for them to purchase.

True enough for Stu's original links, but you do have to actually be a member to order them.

This link seems to show the small thumbnail, but it's not any bigger than the graphic posted above. {edited since Stu has better links below}

I do agree it would be helpful if the TCA site maybe did a simple one line description for each so people could know if they were interested (like what gauge each car is) before joining to actually be able order.  But then again, I am not a volunteer helping to organize this, so I'll not throw any large stones.

Guys, see if these links work:

Link for above

or

Link for description and order form

I logged out of my TCA account to try to get the computer to think I'm a non-member and the above worked.  I hope those links work for everyone else too.

Those links are perfect Stu! 

Reading the "mail in" order form has more than enough info on the cars for someone to determine if they have enough interest to warrant joining TCA.

Sorry to say I don't like any of them.

Luckily there are some of us that do like them and will be ordering.  The flatcars are very exciting to me.  The mint car, while as much as I hate mint cars, it a nice mate to my Desert Division glowing "AEC" car.  I try to support the standard gauge program as they are extremely limited in sales.  The S car is a nice add-on to the NASA set from the Houston Convention.  Finally, Albuquerque has some excellent breweries.

Budget this year more than most will dictate what I can order though.  Definitely the flatcars at a minimum.

I’ll probably be in for the two RG hoppers.

The Santa Fe trailer looks to be the winner, especially since the new Lionel 40' trailers are way undersize.
