The Lionel Collectors Club of America is thrilled to announce the update and release of three cornerstone collections in our Digital Archives: the complete four‑volume Holtmann Consumer Catalog Archives (1900–1995), the fully restored Osterhoff Postwar Instruction Sheets Volumes 1–4, and the complete run of Lionel Consumer Catalogs from 1996–2010. Together, these releases span more than a century of Lionel history, now presented with crisp digital reproduction, standardized navigation, and a clean, modern interface designed for effortless exploration.
As we continue our multi‑phase restoration project, please note that additional sections of the Digital Archives remain under construction and will return to the website as each collection is finalized. Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm as we rebuild this museum‑grade resource for all Lionel enthusiasts.
Take a tour of Andy Dubill's home layout which is featured in the February 2021 issue of 'The Lion Roars'. Andy returned to model railroading in 2002 after a hiatus of 42 years. Andy also remains active in the Boy Scouts and his layout features an old Boy Scout camp as a centerpiece.
The layout was started in 2002 and is intended to represent a Lionel toy train layout from the 1950's. Andy focuses mostly on Lionel but trains and accessories from other manufacturers are represented. While never really finished, at 16 feet by 20 feet it has over 250 feet of ballasted track and can handle three trains at one time. The layout runs over tubular track using conventional control with several LionChief+ trains that are powered by seven Postwar Lionel ZW transformers. Andy and his wife Sue enjoy all that model trains and the LCCA has to offer.
extended tour of one of the finest layouts in all of Kansas!
