does anyone know if the LOTS, or the TTOS organizations have divisons in the Philadelphia area[?]
TMCC Man,
I just checked the sites for TTOS, LCCA, and LOTS. Non have a division near the Philly area.
Neither LCCA nor LOTS have divisions, but both have members in the Philadelphia area. Check their websites for contact information – www.lionelcollectors.org and www.lots-trains.org – or contact me off line and I’ll gladly put you in touch with someone. The 2006 LOTS convention will be during July at Saratoga Springs, NY.
