The next Western Division train meet is scheduled to take place on Sunday July 10th, 2022 . This train meet will be conducted in Arcadia, CA at the Masonic Center, 50 Duarte Road, Arcadia, CA 91007 at 10:00 AM in partnership with the T.T.O.S. Southwestern Division's monthly train meet. There are always more than 50 sellers and over 75 tables at these meets. This meet will be Western Division's 5th in 2022, and we welcome all TCA members, their families, and any interested guest toy train collectors to come and meet our membership, browse the trading tables for bargains, and share in the camaraderie of toy train collecting. Sellers can arrive as early as 8:00 AM to begin setting up their tables. The Meet officially opens at 10:00 AM. Buyers arriving before 10 AM are asked to avoid interfering with sellers who are trying to set up their tables. Seller's tables cost $5 and can be reserved in advance by calling Hollis Cotton at 818-590-0553. This meet will be open to the public. Admission for TCA members wearing their Western Division name badge is free. Everyone attending has to have and wear a name badge to get into the meet, and during all the time they are at the meet/in the building. Non-members may enter the meet for $5, but must obtain a 'my name is' sticker when paying the entry fee at the front desk. TCA members can sell items in the auction. Rules and sellers' fees will apply. Buyers do get charged California State sales taxes on all auction purchases unless they have a valid resellers permit.

What is TCA?
TCA Western Division carries out this mission by holding 10 monthly meets during the calendar year. At these meets, the trading and displaying of tinplate toy trains and toy train related items takes place. TCA Western is the only Southern California based toy train club that provides free use of tables for these purposes. We have plenty of them available, in a well lighted, spacious hall. There are over 30,000 members in the TCA organization nationally. Western Division boasts a membership of over 300 train hobbyists.
Do you have a box of old tinplate trains that you have been storing in the attic all these years since your childhood? Are you anxious to break them out and run them again? Do you need help in getting your old trains to run again - perhaps they require some servicing? Have you been meaning to perhaps convert those old trains into some cash in your pocket? Then bring those trains to our next TCA Western Division toy train meet in Arcadia. Those dusty old electric trains could potentially be something rare and unusual. The club layout would be a great place to see those trains running again after all these years. Or, if you have intended to get rid of those trains, selling them at the TCA Western Division meet can yield cash for you and make a collector happy as well.
