LGB sponsors special auction
Sale of large-scale streetcars to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims

LGB of America announced today that it will sponsor an auction of three special LGB models to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina with 100% of the proceeds going to the American Red Cross.

LGB of America will donate three of its popular LGB 20380 New Orleans Streetcars. To make these into very unique models, each will be personally signed and numbered -- on the model and the box -- by Wolfgang Richter, known to LGB fans around the world as the co-creator of LGB trains. Plus, the top bidder will also win a free, one-year membership to the new LGB Club in 2006.

"LGB of America wants to help the people affected by Hurricane Katrina," said Tony Castellano, Chief Operating Officer of LGB of America. "And this auction will give the LGB of America family a unique way to get involved in the recovery."
