2004 Milwaukee Recap
2004 Annual LCCA Convention – Milwaukee, WI
A Convention Full of Inspiration and Elation during the Week of July 20-25
LCCAers visited several home layouts, met the owners/operators, and learned the secrets of high-rail, O-gauge train operation. LCCA members were the guests of local layout owners with rail empires that can best be described with one word: “WOW!”
Following the pattern of previous successful Conventions, members enjoyed professionally conducted tours of train-related sites in the area, a Get Acquainted Party with Series 3 Collectors Cards, a collectible LCCA On-site Convention Car, the Lionel Seminar, and a memorable banquet.
The first 400 Convention registrants received an Early Registration Gift.
