Sam Posey commentary on NPR

My wife told me that NPR's morning edition had broadcast a commentary by Sam Posey, author of
Playing With Trains
, who expressed his thoughts about the Lionel bankruptcy and the future of the model railroading hobby. I certainly enjoyed his book, and you can hear it for yourself at:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4249125
or go to www.npr.org and search for "Sam Posey".
I am certainly pleased that NPR found someone so knowledgable and articulate to speak about the hobby. Thanks Sam!
Happy New Year,
Peter Ford

Sam did a nice job of puting Lionel's problems in perspective and explained the hobby a little bit.
There is no such thing as a bad day of railfanning. So many trains, so little time.
