Wow, I seriously need to upgrade — and my PC is only a few years old. I'm crazy jealous of your new setup.

I honestly don't know the future of Lionel. I don't believe it was very wise of them to bring out such high-priced locomotives at this time given the economy, but we shall see. Their name still commands respect and is worth a great deal. Perhaps the new licensing deal between Lionel and MTH in the tinplate arena is a foreshadowing of things to come.

Thank you for your great website and videos. I am a total MTH fan, Do you think Lionel has lone to live. Their new catalogue is depressing. Robert

I have looked at many of you wonderful videos and they are helping me to enlarge my layout and locomototive collection. In addition I like your help with the DCS system. I still have to learn how to upgrade mine from 3.1 to 4.0. Your picture on the first page of you website brings tears to my eyes. I wrote one of the orchestral pieces played at the aniversity of the the tragedy in 2002. It is on youtube– Robert Cummings Lacrymosa For the victumns of 9/11. I notice that you love roses. as I do. But my real passion is growing rare cycads and palm trees. Thanks again for you great website and videos. r.

Yes, Andy was more than gracious to spend the entire morning with us chatting about the business as well as other current events. The B&O museum is always nice to visit since they have so many steamers there to see- many of which have been restored. The only thing that pains me tho especially with its past history is they still have "the American Freedom Train" Reading T-1 2101 down the end of the yard by itself falling apart. It desperately needs some work. From there we "high-balled" from Baltimore MD at 3:37 PM to Edison NJ at 5:34 PM in just under two hours!! I swear we were only going track speed…

I'm so glad that they got that settled. It really bothers me that the Korean outfit named the new company that they tried to hide the assets in as MKT. I'm a Katy enthusiast myself. If you could, I'd be grateful if you'd email me with contact information for a real person at MTH. They never answer my form based emails from their web site, and no one has ever responded to my phone messages. As a journalist I just want a contact in their publicity department.

Absolutely stunning. I cannot begin to describe how jealous I am of your collection, especially these two locomotives and the PRR S1 and Q2. Keep up the good work and make more double headed steamer videos! These rock!
