Here are some common frequently asked questions that the TCD receives:
Question: I have a model railroad (model train) estate that I am looking to sell (or part with). Does the TCD know of anyone interested in this?
Answer: Parting with the model railroad empire can be challenging. There are several sources that will take whole estates of model railroad/train equipment. They will sometimes pay for the equipment. Please contact them before bringing anything in.

You can also attend one of the TCD Meeting – there will likely be folks here that can help.
Question: I am not a NMRA member, can I attend a TCD Meeting?
Answer: You are welcome to attend a meeting or two, as a non-member. Eventually, we would encourage you to become a NMRA member. (NMRA members are automatically a member of the TCD).
