March 22, 2014 Lionel’s Second Annual Red Capet Warehouse Sale Update (update with hours, Hotel info and proposed seminar schedule)
Our friends at Lionel LLC invite all LCCA members and their families to their Second Annual Red Carpet Warehouse Sale event at their facility in Concord, NC, (near Charlotte) on Saturday, March 22 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. On Friday evening (March 21), we will gather for a Dutch treat dinner with the team from Lionel (location is still TBD) . Lionel promises to have discounted prices on dozens of products on sale. Show your LCCA membership card at the door as a pre-requisite for entering this event. Lionel Railroad Club members will also be invited to participate, but the event will not be open to the public. The Lionel/LCCA FasTrack Modular Railroad will be set up and operational during this family friendly event. This will be a great opportunity to do some Lionel shopping. Take the kids along so they can see Lionel’s own operating toy train layouts in action. A huge selection of Lionel O-gauge train sets, refurbished products, track pieces, scratch and dent items, plus new NASCAR die-cast cars will be available along with limited quantities of special-priced door busters. Cash and credit cards accepted. Come and see the Lionel archives that were moved from their Michigan facility to Concord NC.
This promises to be a successful sequel to last year’s event. If you’re in the area, drop by and say hello to the folks at Lionel and the LCCA and wander through the rows of orange and blue boxes at the Lionel warehouse at:
6301 Performance Drive,
Concord, NC.
The facility is near Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Phone: 855-552-1960.
Hours 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM
