Kerry Decker TV Show - Electric Trains (1987)

Recently I came across several more 3/4" U-Matic videotapes of my old NightLife Show which ran on cable TV during the 1980s. This episode is about electric toy trains made by Lionel. Kerry, along with photographer Rick Zimmer, show a 1962 promo film made by Lionel. As interest in toy trains may have been fading in the 1960s, Lionel brought out a series of trains that were more up to date by adding rockets & launchers from the Space Race.
This program was made during my series final year. I see that I had grown a beard & was at my heaviest. Ouch! The opening title sequence was different than previous years as well. I hope you enjoy these old toy trains.

Air Date: March 27, 1987

they dont make them like that anymore some of the postwar lionel sets have become very rare and hard to find today so if you find one it your home dont go and sell it for $50 to $100 bucks without checking out what you have first even if it in need of repair alot of pepole make that mistake my first postar set i picked up was a 1948 lionel scout set i paid $38 for it it worth $300 and thats my lowest book value postwar set the others postwar sets i have are worth much more then that

The initials ACL stood for the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. ACL is now part of the CSX railroad system.
