Trains and Sopranos
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, May 14, 2006 8:22 PM
Well someone on the Sopranos wrote in another train reference.

Tony (the boss) was busting his sister because her husband "plays with trains".

Janice (the sister) says, "what about Neil Young?"

Tony responds sarcastically, "he owns Lionel!" .Plus a few explitives here and there.

But funny that they included it. Later on Bobby (the brother in law) is using his trains and shows off a number of his trains and accecories (including a polar express) to his uninterested teanage son.
The son leaves to go watch a band leaving Bobby alone with his trains and his engineers cap.

I liked him showing his son the Moe and Joe car unloading the lumber. Oddly enough that was the name of the episode "Moe and Joe".

Bobby even mentioned that accessory in the show. "How 'bout a little Moe & Joe action"?

Even Neil Young owning Lionel was mentioned. How sweet it is.

Anytime a show of this quality gives reference to our hobby has to be a good thing.
I loved the first episode when BOBBY was in the garage working his layout.
I almost fell out of my chair.
I even told my wife I have the same switcher.

Bobby was upset because his 15 year old son didn't want to stay and play with the trains so he offered in essence to sacrafice the Polar Express. I forget what the exact statement was but he suggested they use it to create a head on crash.

Now that's how gangsters play with trains.

Here's how the Sopranos is going to end - the final scene:

Tony and Bobby are running trains on Tony's huge new layout. Both are wearing those cute little engineer caps and overalls. Neil Young is showing the guys how to operate the new TMCC II system, "not yet available to the general public". In the background, Carmella sheds a tear of joy for Tony's new found inner peace. She wipes the tear away and leaves the boys a platter of smoked turkey sandwiches and 3 bottles of cold root beer. Salu! Fade to black.

Fuggettaboutit.

Dear Lord, I can just envision the box art now. Black box, Soprano's logo, painting of Bobby in an engineer's cap, smiling and pointing into the difference. "Genuine body-dumping action!"

It's a natural. :D
