The Lion Roars

The Lion Roars is a full-color magazine with news and feature articles about the toy train hobby. Our award-winning magazine contains club news, club-sponsored, limited-edition Lionel® products, and informative articles. Photo essays about train layouts, product review articles, and interesting stories about trains make TLR the best train club magazine of all. This publication is produced five times a year and is delivered to members during the following months of the year: February, April, June, October, December.

 

Interchange Track

Interchange Track is a buy/sell/swap newsletter for club members. Listings are conveniently presented by era of manufacture, then by the company's product ID number. Lionel trains are featured, but trains by other manufacturers are also included. Interchange Track is an excellent marketplace for seeking as well as selling trains because LCCA members are in touch with current values. Each issue contains more listings than eBay, and asking prices are shown for reference. The Interchange Track is published February, June, October, and December.

The Lion Cub

The Lion Cub (TLC) is an on-line magazine published by the LCCA for its Junior Members. This Magazine focuses on issues and features that would be of interest to our younger members. All LCCA Members have access to this magazine in the publications link. The Lion Cub is usually published twice a year when a special eblast is sent to all Junior Members. Other outreach for the club to younger folks include our Junior Member section of the website including coloring pages. The LCCA is proud to have an active Junior Member program to introduce kids to the hobby our members enjoy so much.
