As you all know, the Red Sox are now world champs. How many guys purchased the MTH Red Sox train a while ago when it was made?

Ben bought one for target practice.
Congrats to all my Red Sox fans and friends. They deserved to win.
The Red Sox deserved this win. just a really great team, and to win the Series in Fenway after 90+ years. Their fans are probably still celebrating.
First of all CONGRATULATIONS to all you Red Sox fans !!!!
I thought about getting the Phillies train and the Red Sox train. I didn't get either one. I suspect that the value of the Phillies train has gone down at least as much as the Red Sox train has gone up.
I'm a Red Sox fan, but a toy train with their logo on it isn't something I ever wanted.
We all know the Trackmobile is strong enough to pull the Red Sox train!
Just kidding, congrats!

Congratulations Boston Red Sox.
Unbelievable ! Last to 1st. Boston Strong!
The redsox train is a good train for uncle fester to run...
As much as I hate to admit it, they were the best team and deserved to win.
Maybe they'll shave now.
As a life-long Yankee fan I tip my hat to the Boston Redsox. The ability to go from last to first is something to be admired. (ala the 1969 Mets).

sports logo trains are right up there with
the NASCAR trains.
went to a show, guy was selling the NASCAR
rolling stock, he had it priced so low, he couldn't
give it away.
How about a subway set from MTH/Lionel for the world champs or at least a Boston set! I think us Boston fans have earned it!

That's Gomez. Have Lionel or MTH make a MBTA Red Line train.
Marty - I do have the train and gave it to my son and his young family as their first Christmas train. It is running fast and proud right now.... They made all of us proud. Great series through Tampa Bay, Baltimore and the Cardinals.
Question - How many Cardinals does it take to catch Jacoby Ellsbury??
Answer - Nobody knows because they only allow 9 players on the field....
Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday at Captain John's
Let's see now, who has 27 World series rings.

Nicely said!, I agree they have to shave, they were looking like a farm team for lumberjacks!

Congratulations to the Red Sox, even though they are just caretakers of the trophy until the Yanks get healthy again.
I still wouldn't want a Red Sox train nor a Yankee train for that matter.
Have most of the MTH cars, but not the engine. Purchased the Lionel passenger one that came out this year, haven't had it out of its box yet.

Not this year buddy!

no kidding, I don't know what was going on in major league baseball this fall, but come on!
In the words of the immortal Montgomery Burns; "Mattingly, shave those sideburns!"
I'm just glad baseball season is now officially over. Time to get on with a sport one can actually watch on TV without falling asleep.
P.S.--Congrats to the Sox. I actually did watch much of the game.
Thomas Boswell had a pretty good column 'bout it in today's Washington Post.
I think the 'Sox look like a mad scientist cloned the Smith Bros. of cough drop fame.

I'm with you Allan. It's now hockey season.
Let's go Devils.
Congratulations to the Red Sox organization and to all of the fans. One of the ESPN pundits reported that this is one of the nicest group of players that he has been around in his long career reporting on MLB.
I am a Braves fan (they did originally come from Boston as do the Red Sox and I am one of the few that have seen them play in Boston, Milwaukee, and in Atlanta at their two fields), but I am very happy for the many around me that are avid Sox fans. In this case, the best team did win.
Marty, Congrats to your Red Sox but it is football season and not about ready to give up on that "green team" from New York who plays in New Jersey.
When I was a kid the World Series sponsor on TV was the Gillette Razor Company. The Bosox could certainly use some of those razors now.
"How're ya fixed for blades, Buddy?"

Gillette headquarters is in Boston.
It's a wonderful feeling to see the Red Sox win their third World Series in nine years. There was a time (2003) that I thought I'd never see it happen. Now if they could just beat Cincy and the Mets in WS rematches, we'll be square with them, too.
They may have been the best team in baseball, but they sure were BUTT UGLY!
A few years ago I was into the rivalry and all that (family originally comes from Queens so we're Yankees fans), but recently I've found myself not really caring anymore. In fact once the Yankees were out I didn't even pay any attention to the rest of the season and only found out about Boston winning by a little blurb on the news. I say why not, I think 86 years of misery was enough punishment. Poor Cubs fans........
I hate the Rays more than anything these days, and they're technically my home team. Anytime I went to see the Yankees play them at Tropicana Field it was the most obnoxious and annoying crowd of redneck fans I've ever seen, and yes even more obnoxious than Yankees fans!
Ditto that about the Rays fans.
To all Yankee fans. That was then and this is NOW. Nothing is forever.
Marty,
I have that set and love it. I also knew that was your voice on the freight sounds. Even though I live in central New Jersey, I've been a Red Sox fan for almost 40 years, right around the time Butch Hobson started playing third base. Ted Williams and Yaz are my favorite players. Even die-hard Yankee fans I know tip their hats to what the Sox did in '04. That won't happen again in my lifetime.
