While I will be having fun with LCCA members in Concord NC at Lionel for their November 7-9 Warehouse Sales event, LCCA Club President Dennis DeVito will be representing the club in Milwaukee WI at TrainFest. If you are in Wisconsin or North Carolina this weekend., please make your plans to attend and have some fun with Lionel Trains!
November 8 & 9- TrainFest - Milwaukee WI
The LCCA returns to Milwaukee to attend 2014 TrainFest, one of the premier train shows in the country. Part Train show, part hobby show, part layout tour - and a general good time for the whole family!
The LCCA asks that if you attend, please stop by our booth and say hello. Come and meet with LCCA President Dennis DeVito. The LCCA will have their mini-layout which was designed and built by TW Design of Dallas TX. This detailed layout demonstrates what can be done with a small space with O-gauge trains. The LCCA booth and display will be adjacent to the Lionel display with interactive operating layouts and displays. Stop by Lionel, meet with their team and learn all about their new LionChief and LioneChief remote control engines and starter sets.
