Lionel's Howard Hitchcock Meets Lionel Legend and Former Owner Richard Kughn

(video).

On 4-19-13 The Lionel Collectors Club of America (LCCA) was in York PA and introduced Lionel's new Senior VP/ General Manager Howard Hitchcock to the legendary, former President/CEO and owner of Lionel Train Inc, Richard Kughn. This is the first time meeting between these two gentlemen.

Many people in the hobby believe Dick Kughn is the man who saved Lionel Trains from extinction when he purchased Lionel from General Mills back in 1986. During his ownership, Dick raised the level of quality, got products out on time, revamped the product line-up and introduced new technology such as Command Control, Railsounds and RailScope.

Thank you Howard and Dick for meeting and sharing a few words with our members and guests who visit our website www.lionelcollectors.org

Once again, Al, a nicely done piece. I missed seeing Dick at York, but was delighted to learn that he was there. I briefly met Howard, and my initial reaction was that the Lionel torch has been passed to capable hands.
