I think we should have both an NMRA SIG, and an independant LTMA. There
will be some duplication of energies, but an LTMA would probably be more
capable of making itself visible outside the hobby (article in Mania
Magazine, representation at toy shows, etc).
Both organizations should start to put pressure on TLC.
