A lifetime of happiness with Lionel trains.
The concept behind the Lionel Collectors Club of America is simple and wonderful. Members share a common interest in Lionel®,
the more than 100-year-old American icon, and enjoy the model trains they produce. Members have a special
opportunity to share information, make new friends, and buy, sell, and swap toy trains.
The cost of LCCA membership is less than an annual subscription to a national train hobby magazine.
Publications
Members receive five outstanding publications and participate in club activities and programs.
The Lion Roars
An award-winning, four-color publication devoted to the many and varied aspects of Lionel products, old and new. It is
mailed five times per year.
Interchange Track
This publication revolutionized buying and selling model trains, and it has become the most
authoritative, continuously updated price guide available. It is mailed first class.
The Interchange Track is published on alternate months with The Lion Roars.
e-Track
LCCA was the first train club to implement a fully integrated, online capability to buy-sell-swap
toy trains. This service is based on our easy-to-use printed newsletter, Interchange Track, and provides
24/7 access to the LCCA marketplace for Lionel trains and train-related items.
Club Website
An online resource with useful information about the club, the hobby, collecting, and operating toy trains: www.lionelcollectors.org — add it to your favorites list. Much of the website is open to all visitors.
Online Membership Roster
A complete listing of LCCA members for use by members only.
LCCA Annual Convention
There's no better experience in Lionel oriented model railroading than sharing your hobby interests.
LCCA Conventions
have been recognized as the most fun and best social events in the toy train world. New and long-time members meet
at family-oriented annual reunions to celebrate the special joy and magic of Lionel trains. During the past five years, we visited Denver, St. Louis, Chicago, Buffalo, and Sacramento. Our 2010 Convention destination is again Denver. Only LCCA members may attend these annual conventions
packed with train excursions, exciting and educational tours, a Get Acquainted Party, a seminar
about new Lionel products presented by senior staff from Lionel, an annual meeting where members and LCCA officers
interact in an informal setting, a large Trading Hall where members can buy-sell-trade Lionel products, and a closing
banquet with sumptuous fare and commemorative gifts for all.

The orange and blue boxes on each banquet table are gifts for members. The friends at this table traveled to the Convention from New York. |

One of the four train excursion rides of the 2006 Convention in Denver was a trip to the summit of Pike's Peak aboard a cog railway. |
Collectibles/Special Offers
The LCCA 2010 Convention Car is a UP cylindrical hopper with the gorgeous flag paint scheme—celebrating Denver, the site of the 2010 Convention.
Each year the club prepares a limited-edition Lionel Convention Car related to the Convention locale, and special on-site cars for attendees only.
From time to time, the club presents special collectibles that represent significant value for MEMBERS ONLY!
Club members also have the exclusive opportunity to purchase selected items from the LCCA store at very attractive prices.
