LCCA To Attend 2015 WGHOT Train shows
LCCA Is Coming to Town - To the World's Greatest Hobby on Tour Shows! ...Perhaps to a town near you. Come and meet your all-volunteer management team of the Lionel Collectors Club of America when we are in your part of the country. The LCCA is committed to helping introduce the club and Lionel toy trains to a generation that may not have grown up playing with Lionel trains as children. LCCA will staff a booth at the following events:

For those of you who may not have attended a WGHOT show, you don't know what your are missing. Trains, trains and more trains of all shapes and sizes are there for the enjoyment of the entire family. Bring the kids, grand kids, neighbors, friends, they will have a ball!
The LCCA team of volunteers will staff a booth adjacent to Lionel's display. Come and meet with representatives from Lionel. We are certain you will enjoy LCCA's Mini-operating layout which was designed and built by TW TrainWorx of Dallas TX. This layout demonstrates what can be done within a very small area. You don’t have to have a large space to enjoy your Lionel trains.

We Need Your Help!
We will need help in setting up, operating the LCCA booth during these weekend train shows and then for the teardown. This is a golden opportunity for you to get involved with the club and introduce the Magic of Lionel Trains to thousands of people in just a couple of days. If you and any of your friends are interested in helping out, please contact Dennis DeVito 574-870-0391,dennisdevito@comcast.net or Al Kolis 248-709-4137 agkolis@comcast.net. For more information about our modular layout and kits, go to the "FasTrack Modular" section of our website www.lionelcollectors.org.
We welcome all new LCCA members who joined our club recently from the LRRC. We hope you can attend one of these shows and meet with some of our friendly LCCA members and volunteers. We do know how to have FUN!
We will travel all around this great country during the next few months. You'll find us at a booth adjacent to the Lionel train layout and display. As we like to say, "Lionel is the COMPANY that makes the trains, and we are the CLUB that plays with the trains." Come and see the Lionel display, and speak with Lionel personal. Bring your children or a friend and introduce them to the magic of the train hobby and the camaraderie of the LCCA. We'll welcome them into the club as new members of the best toy train club on the planet! We hope to see you there!
