The Lionel Collectors Club of America (LCCA) is home to one of the most prominent member organizations of model train collectors in the world. Our site offers news, photos, videos, and event information to all Lionel train enthusiasts, and our worldwide membership of nearly 10,000 members enjoys additional benefits, including an exclusive network to buy, sell, and trade Lionel model trains and other brands.

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.
The LCCA invites and welcomes members to attend the annual LCCA Convention and Business Meeting and encourages them to register early. Early registration does a few things.
The LCCA understands that sometimes, even the most solid of plans change and a member who registers in a timely manner would need to cancel their reservation. The LCCA cancellation policy is that members who have registered may request a cancellation and received a full refund if this refund request is received by the LCCA Business Office by May 15 of the convention year.
If you wish to change, add, or delete tours or event tickets, there is no penalty or fee prior to May 15. Whenever possible, changes will be made at no cost to the member. Contact the Business Office if you need to change your convention tour or event tickets.
On May 16, the club starts to commit to various tour venues and convention costs, and it incurs liabilities for its commitments. After May 16 the LCCA cannot guarantee a full refund due to these commitments but will prorate by committed costs. If a cancellation request is made after May16, contact the LCCA Business Office.
