note the "marketing oriented" effort to create an "interactive" play with O scale model train, hybrid between toy & model when "realism" was a weird assumption.
When I was but a young lad, one of my friend's older brothers had one of the LIONEL military train sets.
Every kid in the neighborhood was florescent green with envy.
I can vividly recall, as we boys gathered in their basement to watch him run them 'round the track, thinking that it was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen.
Somehow, I doubt the latest game console could inspire the same sense of awe in today's kids.
This isn't gay. Items like this is what builds real men. Turn on MTV, where two dudes are fuckin' each other in the ass while checking their iPod. Now that's gay.
Hardly any company in the U.S. knows quality anymore, not even Lionel, they outsourced the jobs to china! What was wrong with having the two factories here in the U.S.? Stupid outsourcing.

And that's really kind of a pity.
