Sam Posey commentary on NPR

Posted by conford on Friday, December 31, 2004 1:00 PM

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:

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.
