Attention LCCA Members and friends.
I hope you all had a great and safe Memorial Day weekend! Please remember and honor those men, women and their families for their sacrifices, commitment and dedication to serve and protect our great country. This note is a friendly reminder about two great LCCA Special Events scheduled for this upcoming weekend May 30and 31. If you are in the Des Moines IA area, please make your plans to attend this train show and meet with LCCA club founder, Charter Member #1 Jim Gates and other Charter members. We are celebrating our 45th Year of Fun with Lionel Trains. Jim and 83 other Charter members started the LCCA in 1970. I plan to be there, so I hope we can meet and have some good genuine fun together.
If you are in the Raleigh NC area this weekend, please make your plans to attend this train show specified below. Come and see the largest LCCA/Lionel FasTrack Modular Railroad Layout in Action. If you like to run trains, you are going to love this hands-on, interactive layout. Come and meet with LCCA Club Secretary Harry Hampson and his lovely wife, Bridget.
This will be a Lionel Train filled weekend, so please make your plans to attend. Please spread the word and invite your family, friends and neighbors. Kids of all ages will really enjoy these shows. For details, see below.

Come See the LCCA/Lionel FasTrack Modular Railroad Layout at Train Show in Raleigh NC
The Lionel Collectors Club of America (LCCA) invites you to attend the Raleigh Spring Train show meet in Raleigh NC on Saturday May 30 and Sunday May 31. LCCA member, Russ Meier and the Kids Run Trains’ LCCA/Lionel Modular Railroad Layout will be joining up with David Bjorkman and the Eastern Carolina Railroaders Club’s LCCA/Lionel FasTrack Modular Railroad Layout. Come and see this hands-on, interactive combined layout. This will be the first time these two club’s layout will be together in the same place at the same time. Young and old, “kids” of all ages will love running trains on this layout. This combined modular layout will contain 28 straight modules plus enough curves and reverse curves (16) to make a U-shaped layout. The new Legacy Big Boy will make an appearance as well. This may be the largest modular layout put together to date! A combined meet like this where many different club members can run their largest locomotives over an awesome layout is just what the modular system was designed for.
Come to this train show and meet with LCCA Club Secretary Harry Hampson and his wife Bridget at the LCCA table. This will be a great opportunity to meet with other LCCA members and see this new LCCA/Lionel FasTrack Modular Railroad Layout in person.
