Please make your plans to be at the Children’s Museum of Virginia on April 11 & 12. This is a fantastic venue that offers an array of train and transportation related activities for kids as well as adults. The LCCA had a special evening event tour at this museum as part of our 2012 Annual Convention in Norfolk VA. We are proud to be going back and having some fun with the Kids Run Trains Lionel/LCCA Modular Railroad layout. In addition to the KRT Lionel Collectors Club of America/Lionel Fastrack modular Railroad layout, the Museum is home to the Lancaster train collection. This a collection of amazing trains that surround a wonderful operating layout is located on the 1st floor and well worth the trip just to see it. We hope to see you there!
