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.
Fellow LCCA Members,
Like all of you, your club continues to experience increased expenses from many of our vendors. Your leadership team is very mindful of the need for solid financial stewardship. With that in mind, we have taken a number of important steps to reduce our expense base in the face of the continued inflation we have all experienced. While these steps have helped meet our needs, we find we must increase our annual dues effective August 1, 2025. Beginning on that date our dues will be as follows:
Your all-volunteer leadership team believes this is the best step for the continued success of the LCCA and will enable us to maintain the high quality of all aspects of your club.
We thank you for your continued support and membership in the LCCA. Your support is what makes the LCCA “The Best Toy Train Club on the Planet!” ™
Your LCCA Leadership Team
Mark Kempfer President
