Thanks for the response.   I am an LCCA member, is that enough to get 2 or 4 of us into the events?  I will try to give you a call later this week with additional questions.

As a LCCA member you have to register to come to the convention.   You can go to the members only convention tab on our website www.lionelcollectors.org to register, or you can mail in a hard copy of the registration form in our club publication, the Lion Roars.

Indianapolis has the largest children's museum in the country if not the world and a fabulous zoo with aquarium and butterfly garden. We also have a terrific museum at the Indianapolis motor speedway. There's lots to do. 

If you make the trip, please come by and visit MrsMuffin and me. Our layout is open to the public and the LCCA will be including us in their tours. I am sure MrsMuffin can help with scenery training and put you to work on our layout for a couple of hours. 

Yes, there  will be a great tour of Mr &Mrs Muffin's new layout!

 Steve,

Please call me at 248 709-4137

WEVE BEEN ON THE EXCURSION, THE CHILDRENS MUSEUM, ZOO , DOWNTOWN INDY AND SURROUNDING AREA! WELL WORTH THE TRIP! CLEAN , BEAUTIFUL, FRIENDLY FOLKS, AND NICE TRAIN DISPLAY AND CAROUSEL AT THE CHILDRENS MUSEUM. GO!

On my first visit, there was a very good toy train collection displayed on an upper

floor of the Children's Museum.  On my second visit a couple years later that toy

train display had been scaled back, and was in the basement next to the large very early 1800's 0-8-0 used to haul trains up the very steep grade from the bank of the Ohio to the top of the bluff at Madison, Indiana, and on to Indianapolis, to provide transportation connections for that city.  That track down that steep cut to the river is still there.
