Lionel's Howard Hitchcock Meets Lionel Legend and Former Owner Richard Kughn
(video).
On 4-19-13 The Lionel Collectors Club of America (LCCA) was in York PA and
introduced Lionel's new Senior VP/ General Manager Howard Hitchcock to the
legendary, former President/CEO and owner of Lionel Train Inc, Richard
Kughn. This is the first time meeting between these two gentlemen. Many
people in the hobby believe Dick Kughn is the man who saved Lionel Trains
from extinction when he purchased Lionel from General Mills back in 1986.
During his ownership, Dick raised the level of quality, got products out on
time, revamped the product line-up and introduced new technology such as
Command Control, Railsounds and RailScope.
Thank you Howard and Dick for meeting and sharing a few words with our
members and guests who visit our website www.lionelcollectors.org
