The Train Collectors Association (TCA) will hold its 67th National Convention at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel August 18 – 22, 2021. You may have heard or read that the 2021 convention was cancelled, but it is very much on!
The public is invited to a free Toy Train Expo Friday August 20 from 8 AM – 5 PM, and Saturday August 21 from 8 AM – 2 PM. The hotel is located at 2500 North Hollywood Way, Burbank.
