LCCA On-site Convention Banquet Cars
A relatively recent and highly prized collectible, the Banquet Car is presented to a small number of lucky recipients during the festive banquet that concludes each Convention on Saturday evening. These unique cars are offered by a random pattern to one guest per table, and the suspenseful process is always a fun-filled mystery. Because this car is gifted - never sold - to a few fortunate recipients, it is a special treasure to collectors and operators.
