The LCCA is Going West!
The Lionel Collectors Club of America (LCCA) is proud to be headed out west to California again. We will be out west for four Special Events scheduled for this February and March, 2013. Our first stop will be in San Diego for the World's Greatest Hobby on Tour Show (WGHOT) on February 9-10. During that same weekend we will head north to San Jose for the Golden Gate Lionel Railroad Club's Train show . (See info below for more details about this show). We had a great Sacramento convention back in 2009, so we are glad to be headed back to Sacramento for the February 23-24 WGHOT show. Then we will finish out the WGHOT season with a show in San Mateo CA on March 2-3.
These WGHOT shows are great ways to introduce our club to train show visitors as well as an opportunity to meet and talk with our members that live in the region. If you haven't experienced a WGHOT show, I recommend you try to attend one of these shows. Several thousand visitors attend these shows each day. The LCCA booth will be located adjacent to Lionel's operating layout and display. LCCA's mini-layout which was designed and built by TW Train Worx of Dallas TX will be in operation during these shows. Come and see the Lionel/LCCA FasTrack Modular Railroad layout first hand. Bring your entire family and friends! Introduce them to the Magic of Lionel Trains and the benefits of belonging to the LCCA. I encourage you to participate in these LCCA Special Event activities.
We hope to see you there!
