Last night at our big neighborhood party, where we run the trains, several non-train people asked if I had seen the "trains" on NBC news.  It made an impact! Yeah!! [yeah]

WB had a very firm hand on anything PE related.  Lionel had to change the original box art because they (WB) were unhappy about something in it.  Any adds had to be cleared.

That's what we need is big impact on other people.  Hope other stations do something over CHRISTMAS?

Yay!  Now I KNOW its Christmas. A pretty decent plug too, with Jerry and Target and Macy's mentioned plus some decent shots of the layouts.  That should help sales a bit.


UPDATE - 01/02/2007

Last week I received an email from Mario Garcia of NBC News.  He was the fellow who put together the piece on Model Railroading.  Anyway, he offered to mail me a copy of the segment.  I received it today on DVD and it is awesome!  Much higher resolution than the one they have online...

I know Frank, I don't want to get nailed with copyright infringement or anything like that.  Shock [:O]

The file is 107MB and is HUGE.  I am trying to find a converter to convert it from DVD Video to something else... as soon as I find it I'll let everyone know... when I have my site running I can post for others to access as well.

Anyone getting the feeling that the Lionel Display hubub at York just doesn't matter that much anymore?  Booya! 

Good point Marty.  An analogy are the car shows.  The North American Car Show in Detroit matters, the car show in Paducah, KY...Zzz [zzz] 

BTW, did anyone notice the Polar Express in NBC's video?  I was a bit disappointed that they did not include the new MTH Ohio State National Championship Billboard in the video, but I guess you can't have everything.  Laugh [(-D]

But really THE BEST car show is every summer in Louisville, Ky.
