To our customers,

 

Since 1900, Lionel has been part of the American story. We survived the Great Depression. We suffered alongside the rest of the nation during World War II. And we mourned with our country during the attacks of September 11.

 

Now we face a threat of a very different kind. And as Lionel has done for more than 100 years, we will do everything we can to not just survive it, but to stand in solidarity with our fellow Americans so that we come back stronger than ever.

 

Today, Lionel is temporarily closing its headquarters in Concord, NC in compliance with local orders.

 

This means our warehouse isn’t shipping or receiving; all train service and parts ordering is halted; and online orders at LionelRacing.com and LionelStore.com will not mail until we re-open. Our Lionel Store in Concord Mills is also closed.

 

Lionel employees who can are working remotely. Our call center team is also working from home and our agents are ready to answer customer questions and take orders. We just can’t ship product right now.

 

Please continue to interact with us on our official social media channels as we will post updates there.

 

In the meantime, we appreciate your business and your support over the years and we hope that you and your families stay healthy.

 

We know Lionel – and the rest of the country – will be back on track soon.

 

Sincerely,

 

 howard

 

Howard Hitchcock

Lionel CEO

Toughen up, hang loose, and bear with it, folks. This is a different, and as yet still very uncertain time in our nation and world, and the best anyone can do is comply with the guidelines that are issued in your respective area of the country.

Most of us on this forum have more than enough trains to keep us occupied during this period, and if you have a layout to work on you may be fortunate enough to find yourself with a good amount of time to attend to projects that otherwise would have been neglected for a time. Consider getting the layout ready for a feature in OGR magazine, or documenting a do-it-yourself project that might also be shared with our readers. In times like this, hobby pursuits are truly a great way to relieve stress and to provide the mind and body with some much-needed relaxation.

We will make it through this!
