The LCCA brings the excitement and adventure of the doodlebug back with the introduction of doodlebugs herald for the Alsaka Railroad and in continuing livery for the LCCA of the Texas Special.
For experienced railroad buffs, there is no need to define a doodlebug as a self-contained rail passenger car with its own engine. It is a railroad’s equivalent to a street trolley, a single self-powered unit carrying passengers and freight. These strange creatures of the rails played an important role in transportation history, keeping rail passenger service alive to underserved communities for years.

The LCCA is proud to introduce its next Lionel Train Set offering. Our last train set was a freight set (the Texas Special) was introduced in 2013 and was a quickly sold out. Additional cars were added to this set for a few years.
This new set is an SP Black Widow FT Diesel with three passenger cars all painted in the Black Widow livery paint scheme. The Black Widow design has been celebrated as one of the best yet it lasted only for a few years, It did require 4 individual paint colors (black, orange, red and silver) and required considerable masking to get right consuming lots of time and money.
This set is full of great Lionel features like LionChief, Bluetooth, Railsound, Lionel Voice Control and more. It will be produced in a single run, not to be reproduced. The SKU 2401200 has been assigned and the set will be offered exclusively through the LCCA. (lionelcollectors.org).
Black Widow can be ordered in LCCA Store
