Lionel Donates $10,000 to TCA Museum
Posted by nblum on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 11:29 AM

From Stu Rankin:

"
In these tough economic times, I'd like to give a shout out to Lionel Trains for donating $10,000 to TCA's National Toy Train Museum (NTTM). This was announced by Lionel at last weeks York activities. Also, in Lionel's booth, they were selling VISION hats and shirts, with the proceeds going to the NTTM. I don't know if this was in addition to the first $10,000, or part of it. Either way..."

Bravo!  Great to see a manufacturer stepping up to help the hobby.  I hope that others will follow.  Was nice to see them offer the shirts and hats with all proceeds going to the museum as well.

 The tee-shirt sales were in addition to the $10G donation.  TCA can now have septic!
