If Lionel left a small group in MI...what do they do? and do they still work out of the old 23 Mile Rd HQ? Also, has Lionel ever mentioned where in VA the US production is? I think I read the Winchester area. Any insight?

Lionel Service address is 6000 Victory Lane | Concord, NC 28027
about 10 miles NE of Charlotte, NC
I believe whats left of Lionel in Michigan is in Sterling Heights at 19 mile and Van Dyke. I think 23 mile is history.
Mike W - Maybe you saw this post, but this was Lionel's factory service center until the late 1970s, about 15 miles from the Hillside/Irvington plant.
Never seen that last one but cool. In the early 70's didn't Lenny Dean manage a service team out of Hillside?
But as far as today...I think the above post answers that. Maybe they will move the rest of MI to NC at some point.
Yeah I have seen Winchester on the boxes of new USA made Lionel...but its where the box was made. However I think the plant is there too...with the cardboard made nearby.
They have to keep moving around. Last I heard the main headquarters was in a bunker with Dick Cheney at an undisclosed location.
Current MI staff such as Matt Ashba must be here:
LIONEL LLC
42560 VAN DYKE AVE
STERLING HEIGHTS, MI 48314-3323
