So this train guy is at the York train meet, and the best thing he could come up with for fun is to Photoshop these 2 together with his grandkid? If that's true, he's a fraud and I won't pay any more attention to him or his posts.

Those smelling Photoshop may be right. I don't think the perspective is correct. Jerry Calabrese is a larger man than Mike Wolf, but I don't think the disparity in the photo computes :). Nice job if that's the case. I still like the idea of the MTH-Lionel Chucky Cheese Day Care and Train Emporium.

Photo's not quite right. Look at the shadows on JC and the baby. Then look at the shadows on MW. They are on opposite sides and the JC/baby shadows are quite sharp whereas the MW shadow is more diffuse. I smell PhotoShop.

Evidently, Lionel has offered to settle the lawsuit. Visit link below:

So maybe it really is a good sign to see these two guys together.

Maybe the boys will work this all out one on one.

By the way, who's the good guy? They're both wearing black.

Great picture! I have been waiting for the follow up: The two companies' respective legal teams lining up to take a picture together. Now that would be a Kodak moment!

Regards,

John

You are just waiting for the four horsemen of the apocolypse to hide in behind them for some reason![:D]

Jerry is younger than I imagined. And Mike is little guy.

Wow! As others have said, that picture is DEFINITELY a keeper! Whether or not you granddaughter stays interested in trains, it will certainly be something for her and you to treasure!

Great photo, and lovely baby girl.

Are you sure this isn't the beginning of MTH and Lionel's first joint venture.

Babysitting? Day Care Center? :)

If she keeps any of her interest in toy trains throughout the years, that will be much more than an interesting story..... Not to mention a keepsake from a day spent with her favorite grandfather [:)]

Aside from that, she really looks to be a Bella ragazza bambino! Consider yourself, and your family very lucky!

WOW What a keeper! How did you manage that? I'm glad these guys can put their differences aside for a cool pic like that. You grand daughter though seem unimpressed![:D] Looky my hand. She gorgeous!
