September 19-20, 2015 - LCCA Is Returning to the Norfolk VA Area
The Lionel Collectors Club of America plans to return to the Norfolk VA area for the September 19/20, 2015 Tidewater Train Show. As part of LCCA’s plan to reach out and touch 2800 members this year, the LCCA is designating this show as a LCCA Special Event. Stop by the LCCA table and meet with LCCA club Secretary, Harry Hampson and his lovely wife Bridget.
Stop by and introduce yourself to Harry and receive a LCCA Special Event item. Come and talk trains! Bring the kids and the entire family to this family friendly train show.
Come to the show and see the new Kids Run Trains’ LCCA/Lionel FasTrack Modular Railroad layout. LCCA member Russ Meier will be there with his group of local kids running Lionel trains on their new LCCA/Lionel FasTrack Modular Railroad layout. Stop by and run some trains on this hands-on, interactive layout. Spread the word and bring your family and friends to experience this new modular railroad layout in person.
The LCCA table will be next to the Tidewater O-gauge Association (TOGA) layout and the Kids Run Trains LCCA/Lionel FasTrack Modular layout. The TOGA layout was featured during our 42nd Annual Convention in Norfolk VA July 2012. If you are in the area, we hope you can stop by the LCCA table and talk trains.
