LCCA does it again

I can't seem to find them on the LCCA website? I'm a newbe to the LCCA I may not be looking in the wrong place.

http://www.lionelcollectors.org/  I think this is the site you are looking for Chris.

I looked on the web site and can not find any of the above listed items,

They are featured in the new issue of the LCCA magazine.

What I don't understand is why there are caps on the production of these items.

Shouldn't every LCCA member who wants one be able to make the purchase?

Nice group Johnny!

Every LCCA member who wants one has the oppertunity to place an order. we have over 7000 members and not all are active in purchasing every product or close to every product. Members join for many different reasons. I must admit on the production of the santa fe 208 ALCO's i had no control due to materials that were available at the time. There are contract agreements we are bound to work under and LIONEL can only get so many items out the door. we are privliged TO HAVE LIONEL TAKE SUCH CARE OF US. If you wish to speak with me privatly don't hesitate call.

best regards

louie

the tin plate set is there. we have samples built of the other products but can't put them up for sale until China gives us a final production price.

thanks

louie

get your employee's to join the LCCA and purchase some of these items for your store. they are not going to last long. wait until you see the calf unit that goes with the 622 and the nuke plant, is the coolest thing to hit the market ever!

regards

louie

A lot of neat stuff there, will be interested in seeing the pricing. Another thread a couple weeks ago stated that Lionel was raising their prices by around 10%.

thanks so much for the kind words. We intend to bring to the market place impossible items people say that won't sell , can't sell etc.  these items will be state of the art. one of our members Harry HIEKE international award winning model maker produces our samples for lionel. HATS OFF TO HARRY EVERYONE!

Hi Lou, looking forward in seeing you up in Portland, Oregon later this month.  I want you to put my name on one of the Texas special switcher sets, a must have with my Texas layout.  I ditto what Keith said about you guys doing a bang up job and offering some very exciting items for members.  See you in Portland.

I like this switcher. When will we be able to place orders?

Why the Blomberg trucks on the switcher?  They were not on the real switcher nor were they on the 622/623 switcher.  They remind me of the cheap switchers made later and make the unit sit too high.

The coal ramp looks cool.  I may go for that one.

The commodore tinplate set looks great!  And with an available add-on car to boot!  I cannot wait!

Very nice selection of product offerings!

Wow that us a nice Norfolk Southern switcher! I always liked those little industrial switchers and have not seen any in a while. Is there any way to purchase it without going to the convention?

The Lion Roars said that the original tooling was lost so the

NW2 will have GEEP die cast trucks.

Very Nice web site I enjoyed searching through it.  BUT.... you need to screen some of the You Tube video that pop up as selectable after viewing your posted ones.

There is some inappropriate (for your web site) material.  After watching the one on the ZW-L, I could select from the following:

A birthing video, and another with the "F" word used in the title.  Not sure how these are selected? Or why they show up.

Hi guys there is a calf unit to go with the TEXAS SPECIAL NW2. If I wasn't so computer illireriate I would add the picture. Its a beauty and you have never seen anything like it. I'll see if I can get it on here.

Is there any way to purchase it without going to the convention?

Nope, got to be there and stay 3 nights at the convention hotel which is the Marriott Waterfront.

Here ya go...

I flipped the calf so it's in the proper orientaion with respects to the cow.

Lou Caponi along with the LCCA board have done it again. That Tin Plate set is knockout gorgeous. Boy am I glad I sent in my deposit.

The 60 Tonner is a 44T lovers dream and I can't wait to see the color scheme.

The Texas Special is truely beautiful.

Lou you are a treasure!

Thank You buddy, your one of the people who make this hobby better for all of us.

Lou:

I am with Chris, I too really like the Texas Special switcher. This is a winner for sure.

That Pre-War set in TLR is just killer!  Just imagine a Post-War version with a #221 as a follow-up!

you will be able to order in july. i need to get through the tin set which in 3 days has blown me away! with pre orders.

boy our lcca members and new bee's are the best.

thanks you all

The reason that the other videos show up is because a lot of O gauge videos have no tags or the wrong tags. You have to carefully select the words for your tags on you YouTube videos. You must go back and edit the TAGS section of the video to get the desireable results.

Does anyone have any history on the Decade 60 ton switcher?

about ever 10 years or so LCCA would produce a seperate sale locomotive to pull 10 years worth of convention cars. we had dropped it. now people have sent letters and e-mails asking to bring them back so what the membership wants the membership gets in most cases.

this switcher will be done in union pacfic and super cool looking i promise.

the art is being done now.

thanks

louie

THANKS MARIO. MY INTENTION IS TO BRING TO THE O GAUGE MARKET THE ITEMS THE MANUFACTURERS CLAIM ARE TO DIFFICULT TO PRODUCE. AS YOU KNOW MARIO I WAS ONCE INVOLVED GETTING PRODUCTS PRODUCED IN ASIA.

I INTEND TO BRING INTEREST AND EXCITEMENT BACK TO THE MARKET PLACE. AS YOU KNOW MARIO I WILL NEVER GIVE UP. I WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN.

REGARDS MY GOOD FRIEND

So that IS a covered coal unloading trestle!!  I just scratchbuilt one for round

"concrete" coal silos, but I emailed this to a friend who collects Heinz stuff.  An

old issue of Railroad Model Craftsman had an article on various kinds of retail

coal dealers.

Unfortunately, to lessen the paper mill and the cost of too many train and other memberships I let my LCCA membership lapse.
