LEGO hasn’t sent out catalogs in about two years, maybe more. Some groups still have some floating around but if they do, they will likely be pretty dated. Many of the Train Clubs still have a supply of the LEGO Train Poster which they give away at shows but the supply of these has also been exhausted.

You can learn more about the train posters on the ILTCO web site.



For lack of catalogs, what my club (LUCNY) uses are the small folded inserts from LEGO sets. Specifically, I mean the little mail-in catalog request cards, the mail-in Lego club cards, and the Harry Potter Lego posters. We have no problem accumulating hundreds of these and the cost to provide them is zero. The mini-catalogs from sets are an option, too, but they do not specifically feature Lego Train items or give information on how to obtain items.

GardenSlug should ask Jeff Stabile if he has a supply of these items. Between now and your event date, I bet he will have no problem accumulating some for the club to give out.

A quick call to LEGO Shop at Home may reveal a box or two of the train poster still available. Call during business hours and ask for the reception desk or to speak with a Fullfillment Specialist. Chances are, a savvy LEGO operator will know exactly what you are talking about when you ask about the posters.
If the train posters are out of stock, ask about old S@H catalogs. No doubt they have some left. There is no mechanism in place to distribute them, so you may have to sweet-talk a few people to get some. Shipping may be on your nickel; if they won’t ship you may need to travel to Enfield to take possession of some personally.
