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.
It is important as a club member to monitor your club membership renewal date which can be found on your membership card or on-line in the upper right corner after you have logged into the LCCA web page. Notification of renewal is sent 60 days prior to the expiration date via the email address on file date and, subsequently, in the following days if you did not pay your dues with a postal notification is sent to your address of record.
The LCCA Board of Directors has established a 30-day grace period for members who may not have their annual dues paid by their due date. Should your dues remittance not reach the LCCA Business Office before the grace period expires, the following occurs:
Your membership will return to active status when you pay your membership dues. You will retain your original membership number by calling the Business Office (815-223-0115) and renewing by phone. DO NOT LOG ON AS A NEW MEMBER or YOU WILL LOSE YOUR ORIGINAL MEMBERSHIP NUMBER. Once dues are paid your member status is restored to active and all member rights and privileges are restored. The LCCA officers and BOD encourage and welcome back any member who became inactive because of non-payment of dues. If you call the LCCA Business Office (815-223-0115) with your payment your original member number will be restored.
