Welcome to Lionel Collectors Club of America
The Lionel Collectors Club of America (LCCA) is home to one of the most prominent member organizations of model train collectors in the world. Our site offers news, photos, videos, and event information to all Lionel train enthusiasts, and our worldwide membership of nearly 10,000 enjoy additional benefits including an exclusive network to buy, sell, and trade Lionel model trains and other brands.
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.
LCCA Announces a New Lionel Visionline Offering for 2024 - a GG1. This is a true to scale model of one of Lionel's icon locomotives of the postwar period. Desired at the time for its stature and pulling power, the GG1 is updated to true scale, and includes the latest Visionline features offered by Lionel.
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).
This Lionel produced car, a boat carrier, comes with 4 multicolored boats and is another in the LCCA Union Pacific series. This yellow and red car has silver sprung trucks, has the UP full herald and proudly carries the American Flag.
This car is based on the postwar Lionel 6416 boat carrier offered between 1961 and 1963. The boats on the 6416 came in white hulls and blue tops and red hulls with white tops. The boats for this car will come in a Lionel clamshell so you will have the opportunity to load the car yourself.
The Lionel number for this car is 2401230. The separate 4 pack of boats has the Lionel number 2230120.

During the last 3 months, two of our LCCA elected directors resigned their position due to unforeseen health issues. In both cases, as President, I offered LCCA members to fill the remaining terms of office and with the Board of Directors approval, made 2 new Director appointments.

During the last 3 months, two of our LCCA elected directors resigned their position due to unforeseen health issues. In both cases, as President, I offered LCCA members to fill the remaining terms of office and with the Board of Directors approval, made 2 new director appointments.
Director Tim Fuhrmann (RM 25937) had to resign from his position due to unforeseen health reasons. He was also our Convention Volunteer coordinator. I appointed past Director Dave Miller (RM 21985) to fill the remainder of Tim's director position. Dave currently serves as the LCCA Product Coordinator.
Director Ken Kelley (HM 1308) resigned due to an unforeseen health issue. Ken served the LCCA as President, Past President, and Treasurer. I appointed member J.P. Martin (RM 10886) to fill the remainder of Ken's director position. J.P. has been working on our web site store keeping our product current and up to date. He will continue to support the web store.
Tim Fuhrmann (RM 25937) also served the club as Convention Volunteer Coordinator. A long-time convention attendee, John Seresky (RM 39067), stepped up and volunteered to take on that position.
The club recognizes and appreciates the years of strong service to the LCCA offered by both Ken and Tim. They have our very best wishes as they continue their recovery. And with the appointment of 3 new members, the LCCA leadership team continues to move forward to offer members “The Best Toy Train Club in the World”
A word to all our members, the LCCA has an election coming soon. I ask members to step up and seek a position where they can more actively support the club.
