I was just in New York and wanted to see the site of the old Madison Hardware and Lionel showroom. Didn't get to but didn't know that this existed. Is it open yet and did anyone go?

I beleive there were some photo's of products on display at the new show room from the Toy Fair back in February.  It isn't like the old show room with a massive layout or like the visitor's center layout in Mt. Clemens.  This showroom is mainly meant to display/showcase new products for potential dealers/distributors. 

When everything else fails, play dead

There was an article about the showroom in a LCCA Lion Roars newsletter earlier this year. There are 3 display layouts (5x9, 2 4x8's) and some other stuff. The showroom is for dealers and retailers as Chuck writes.

Regards, Roy
