October 5 - Special Event in Loveland CO - "Trains on the Plains"

Lionel Collectors Club of America (LCCA) members should mark their calendars and plan to attend Trains on the Plains - Model Railroad Expo on Saturday, October 5, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.  Early-bird shopping is available beginning at 7 a.m.  This LCCA-designated Special Event will be held in the Exhibition Hall of the Larimer County Fairgrounds in Loveland, CO.

There will be an LCCA table.  Be sure to visit our table, where you can pick up your LCCA Special Event button and billboard.  One (1) fully-built Lionel/LCCA FasTrack Module Railroad section will be on display.  While at the LCCA table, register to win a door prize donated by LCCA.

The Expo is hosted by the Colorado Toy Train Group, LLC, where everyone will have the opportunity to buy, sell, and trade toy trains.  Bring your ailing train to The Train Doctor for a free diagnosis and estimate of repair cost.  Also see toy trains on several operating layouts.

The Trains on the Plains event will be held concurrently with the Timber Dan Antique and Collectible Toy Show.  Attendees will have the unique opportunity to attend both shows with one admission.  This first-of-its-kind effort will enable attendees to buy, sell, and trade antiques, collectibles, toys, and toy trains under one roof.

Sales tables are available. Visit the CTTG website for information at www.1wp.com/go/cttg.  For additional details, contact Steve Fowler by e-mail at: coloradotoytrains@msn.com or call the event Registrar Ray Flynn at 970-412-0002.
