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 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.
