Welcome to the Lionel Kids’ Club by LCCA webpage for Junior members.  Please take a moment to check out all of the terrific benefits of membership in our Kids’ Club!


Junior Membership was created for young Lionel enthusiasts who are under 18. (“Regular” members are 18 and older). Junior members have most of the same privileges of membership as any adult with the exception that they cannot hold office or vote in the elections each year. Unfortunately, they cannot purchase products from the online LCCA store, but their parents can call the LCCA Business Office and purchase products on their behalf.


Junior Members receive copies of The Lion Roars and our digital magazine, The Lion Cub.The Lion Cub is a magazine written by Junior Members, for Junior Members.  It is Emailed to each active Junior Member twice a year (May and December).  As a Junior Member, you will also be eligible to write articles for this magazine and continue in other ways! Check out the back issues of the Lion Cub here on the web site to see how to contribute or contact the Jr. member director Patrick Cudzilo. 


Think of how exciting it would be to see your article or contributions published in a real magazine
