Along with other interesting tidbits I wasn't aware of:

Lionel Trains Article 

I think this article has more misinformation from the source than from the writer this time.

Lots of misinformation, but that's kind of standard for a lot of reporting being done today.

My guess is that a lot of reporters--particularly younger ones--go to places like Wikipedia for background information instead of digging through far more reliable sources. 

But I also agree that a lot of the erroneous information in this article appears to come from the subject himself, and that's kind of surprising, not to mention disappointing.  I love that "worth a million dollars" bit.  Not in his wildest dreams!  I just hope that came from the reporter and not the subject, because such a statement would shoot his credibility to pieces.
