Sponsor your child(ren), grandchild(ren), young relative, or anyone under 18 years of age as a Lionel Kid's Club Member of LCCA. They’ll receive their own membership card, receive all club publications, copy of The Lion Cub especially for Lionel Kid's Club members, and 24/7 access to the club’s website with cool downloads intended for kids. Youngsters can contribute mini-articles and photos about their trains to the Editor for publication and earn a CUB REPORTER certificate. Playing with trains is fun and being a member of a train club is even more fun! Junior Members (JM's) are not allowed to use eTrak or the Interchange Track because of the legal and privacy implications involving youth in digital trading.

It’s a great Father’s Day or birthday gift idea for the train hobbyist in your immediate or extended family. Members receive printed club publications (The Lion Roars [5x/year] and Interchange Track [4x/year]) and 24/7 access to three high-value online resources: the club’s website, eTrack, and Membership Roster. LIONEL KID'S CLUB Members in addition receive The Lion Cub (5x/year).
