About Us
You have just entered the website of the Train Collectors Association - Lone Star Division. Our goal is to provide information about our Division and give an insight into the fascinating hobby of train collecting and operation. As you 'surf' the site you will find information about the chapter, pictures of members and their collections along with dates for upcoming events.
Our Division membership is drawn from Texas and Louisiana areas. Many of our Division members are long time members of the TCA and very involved with all facets of train collecting. There is a wealth of history, knowledge and information available through the membership.
Please feel free to come to one of our events to learn more about the TCA and the Lone Star Divison.and Look for a chapter near you. We are always looking for new members that will help grow the hobby and contribute to the chapter success.
