I watched it. Not my kind of show. For humor, I’m more into Due South. Only thing I enjoyed was the clear distinction between O gauge, HO and N. I noticed that they didn’t show an O. That was a shame because it would have made the O/HO distinction clearer. Have been in model train stores that had the most AMAZING O locomotives in brass. Which I understand that people actually paint. ??? Favorite model railroad is the one at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry. IMMENSE!

I did put up on YouTube the footage of an interview I did with a stranger I saw playing with a huge model train in his backyard. Glad I have it now since the tracks are gone, the house sold, and I couldn’t find anything on the internet about him. I have one relative and one friend who actually renovated real locomotives. I’m not mechanical. Just fascinated. Once walked the old tracks of an ancestor’s long gone railroad to collect tie pieces.
