Actor Michael Gross will be there to talk about model railroading and to show the Madison Central layout.

Hmmm...sounds like a good excuse to be late for work tomorrow!

 

[Tyson Rayles]

Well I didn't see it, did anybody else???????

DAMN I didn't get home last night until 11:15 and then *TOTALLY* forgot to tape it. Ugh.

There was enough on display, that if time had been given, a comprehensive promotion of the hobby could have been done. The producers of the show, put it off to the last, and slotted minimum time, so none of the "visuals" could be explained. Still, it was national TV exposure to the hobby.

On a related topic, "Tracks Ahead" is on Saturdays on our PBS "affiliate". Not "great", but nevertheless an interesting show - they'll usually do one story on prototypes and one story on model railroads. Might wanna check our your local PBS schedule.
