LCCA member and Director, Roger Farkash invites all LCCA members, their family and friends to a fun holiday season charity event “The Trains at Northpark” in Dallas TX November 22, 2014 - January 4, 2015.
This event raises funds for the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas. The Ronald McDonald House provides a home-away from home for those families whose child is in the hospital receiving much needed care for their serious illness. This month plus long event is a great way to combine our great hobby of model railroading along with a worthwhile charitable cause. So spread the word, invite your friends and family to experience the magic of Lionel trains and support a worthwhile charity. You really need to see this phenomenal layout which was designed and built by TW Design of Dallas TX. Please stop by sometime during this holiday season.

The Trains at NorthPark, presented by Bank of Texas, will celebrate its 16th year at NorthPark Center in 2014. The most elaborate toy trains exhibit in Texas, The Trains at NorthPark includes trains rolling across 1,600 feet of track on a journey across America. Cityscapes include downtown Dallas, with the beautiful Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, the State Fair of Texas and the Cotton Bowl; New York City’s Times Square and Grand Central Terminal; Washington, D.C. with The White House; New England’s fall foliage; the Grand Canyon, Route 66, San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and various other highlights. The exhibit encompasses more than 4,000 square feet of train themed environments, with all the trimmings of the holiday train travel experience—steam engine and coach cars, a ticket booth and a train station as well as interactive features. More than 50,000 people visit The Trains at NorthPark each season as part of their holiday tradition.
Since 1987, The Trains at NorthPark presented by Bank of Texas, has raised money for the children and families served by the Ronald McDonald House of Dallas. Currently this annual fundraiser provides the funds for almost one-third of our annual operating budget.
