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 Trading Hall opens for trading Friday evening 6:00 – 9:00 PM and Saturday 8:00 AM till 3:00 PM during convention week. The Trading Hall will be located in the Host hotel. Where possible, the club tries to offer 8' tables, but with increased demand and limited table space at some hotels, the club may offer 6′ tables at the customary discount vs longer tables. An electrical connection would be an extra cost per hook-up, as in the past, since it is provided by the hotel. Electrical hookup can be requested in a separate convention registration link.
The Trading Hall will be available for vendor setup on Friday of convention week from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM. At 5:30 AM the doors are closed for final inspection for material still in the aisles, high displays for safety, etc. to be ready to open for members at 6:00. During this time, only those attendees with an Exhibitor or Official badge setting up their tables will be allowed admittance. Dealer Members who are in the hall when it closes at 5:30 for inspection may remain in the hall. However, if they leave the hall for any reason and are not back by 5:30, they will have to wait to enter with the members at 6:00. During open sales hours, ONLY 2-Wheel vertical hand trucks will be permitted in the hall during show times. NO 4-wheel carts, flats, skids, etc. will be permitted on the hall floor during the show hours for safety reasons.
The Trading Hall will open Friday evening from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM EXCLUSIVELY for LCCA CONVENTION REGISTERED Members and Attendees (Badges will be checked at the door). On Saturday morning the hall opens at 7:00 AM for dealers to come and uncover their table(s) and get ready for the registered attendees at 8:00. The Trading Hall will open again Saturday morning at 8:00 AM for badged attendees only when at 9:00 AM the general public will be allowed into to the hall. The hall will close at 3:00 PM to all sellers. We are looking forward to a large crowd.
Please note: Table holders must have all their merchandise removed from the trading hall by Midnight, Saturday of Convention Week. There will be no admittance to the hall after that time or on Sunday.
