Lionel website videos
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, August 10, 2007 7:52 PM

I was wondering why Lionel can't update their video section.  It's been the same clips for the last 4 years!!!

Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest!Sigh [sigh]

Yeah, supposedly MTH has a Youtube account but they only have the Silverbullet train on there.

I agree, Lionel does need to update its videos. Maybe a demo video for Legacy would be a good addition.

Yeah, better no bugs in a system than some bugs that doom it for ever (or until the bug is fixed).

Lionel depression...

Went by the Lionel booth at the Detroit NMRA... very depressing... MTH had beaten them hands down. Lionel had two American flyer cars and one Lionel locomotive (I believe a polar express loco). Two guys (who very non helpful) that would let me look at the new catalogue...but not actually take one home. MTH had CD's to take home and design my next layout, scores of running trains, and many bright individuals to talk to... like my 3 year old daughter says "I am very disapointed in you"! Time to stop sittimg back on your laurels Lionel! Its seems to be the mentality of the sagging market share here in Detroit.Don't even get me started on your lack of american flyer products! Rant! Rant!... ok breath...

That seems the case at a lot of shows, the Lioenl people seem not ti be that helpful.

At least "Talk to us" is quite helpful, and friendly....
