What's New
LCCA Announces a Pair of Doodlebugs
The LCCA brings the excitement and adventure of the doodlebug back with the introduction of doodlebugs heralded for the Alaska Railroad and in continuing livery for the LCCA of the Texas Special.
For experienced railroad buffs, there is no need to define a doodlebug as a self-contained rail passenger car with its own engine. It is a railroad’s equivalent to a street trolley, a single self-powered unit carrying passengers and freight. These strange creatures of the rails played an important role in transportation history, keeping rail passenger service alive in underserved communities for years.
NOTICE - The Alaska version of the Doodlebug sold out as of 1/12/2025
The 2025 Convention car has been announced as an animated giraffe car. This car has not been done in 20 years and this LCCA version has a new designed giraffe figure. This classic Stock Car is on its way to the zoo! On the way, the giraffe raises his head through the roof and enjoys the view. As the stock car approaches the tell-tales, the giraffe ducks to stay out of harm's way. Add this favorite to your Postwar collection!
This car is made exclusively for the LCCA by Lionel in beautiful Erie Lackawanna livery. It matches the Erie Lackawanna walking brakeman car sold in 2021 by the LCCA.
The LCCA Giraffe Car is full of action and special priced for members at $119, shipping included. Members can buy as many as- they want. You can call the business office during regular business hours at the number 815-223-0115 or go to the LCCA website store LCCA Store and order yours right now.
This new LCCA Giraffe Car is in stock and shipping NOW for FREE!.
New SP Black Widow Set
The LCCA is proud to introduce its next Lionel Train Set offering. Our last train set, a freight set (the Texas Special) was introduced in 2013 and was quickly sold out. Additional cars were added to this set for a few years.
This new set is an SP Black Widow FT Diesel with three passenger cars, all painted in the Black Widow livery paint scheme. The Black Widow design has been celebrated as one of the best, yet it lasted only for a few years, It did require 4 individual paint colors (black, orange, red, and silver) and required considerable masking to get right, consuming lots of time and money.
This set is full of great Lionel features like LionChief, Bluetooth, Railsound, Lionel Voice Control and more. It will be produced in a single run, not to be reproduced. The SKU 2401200 has been assigned, and the set is offered exclusively through the LCCA Store.
Designed specifically for the 2025 Annual Convention held in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the LCCA presents a Delaware & Hudson Gondola with Coil Covers. This unique rolling stock was given away to convention registrants that registered in the first 400 and stayed at one of the host hotels. It features 2 removable coil covers and is finished in gray and blue livery and will look great with any of your Delaware & Hudson equipment.
Quantities are limited so order early! Go To LCCA Web Store and Order Today!
