LCCA Junior Member News
Introduction - Lionel Trains has reached out to the LCCA looking for creative ideas for their next Christmas Flat Car. They’re hoping an LCCA Junior member can design a prototype that might inspire a future Lionel Christmas release. Your mission—if you choose to accept it—is to create your very own Christmas Flat Car design!
Directions - Junior Members must start with a railroad Flat Car. Preferred: Lionel O-scale Flat Cars (any era) but allowed are ANY scale Flat Car — G, O, HO, OO, S, N, or Z. Also allowed: Wooden trains or toy trains (non-Lionel or battery-operated) What is not allowed: Gondolas, Cabooses, Work Cabooses, or any railcar that is not a Flat Car. Just make sure the Flat Car you pick isn’t a highly collectable one! A quick eBay search will help!
Decorate your Flat Car in any Christmas theme you choose. Make it fun, creative, and full of holiday spirit! You may use items such as, but are NOT limited to-
