Perhaps not, but the replacements are scarier.
Who's that good looking guy behind "Joey G" who wants the canoli's?

You wanna take de Mook Express over here, or somethin'?
Gedouddahere......
Now I know why Bobby Bacala came to TrainWorld to get his toys.
You take a $2000 Vision Line Big Boy and sell it for $800. It doesn't matter, it's all profit.
That's pretty funny. Some real great 'Goodfellas' there.

You know, we always called each other good modellers. Like you said to, uh, somebody, "You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good modeller. He's one of us." You understand? We were good modelers. Three-railers. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had 2-rail layouts. It didn't even matter that my mother was into 3-rail. To become a member of a 3-rail group you've got to be one hundred per cent 3-rail so they can trace all your relatives back to the pre-war Lionel stuff. See, it's the highest honor they can give you. It means you belong to a 3-rail model railroad club. It means that no HO scalers can mess around with you. It also means you could mess around with anybody else in the hobby into other scales just as long as they aren't also a 3-railer. It's like a license to run trains as fast as you can, in an endless loop. It's a license to do anything with trains. As far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy being made, it was like we were all being made. We would now have one of our own as a member.
everything these guys leave York Lionel keeps pulling them back in
Old school wise guy. Edward G Robinson
The three wise guys from Hollywood.
Who are the top ten Lionel dealers? Also, who are the seven fellows in the video.
.... who are the seven fellows in the video.
Bump.
I'd like to know, also.
.... who are the seven fellows in the video.
It starts with Kenny Jr. (Trainland), Chris Gans (Nicholas Smith) and Rich Grutzmacher (Lionel Trains). Then it pans over to me, Charlie (Nassau Hobby) holding the 260, Charlie Ro Jr., Kenny Bianco Sr., and Joe Grzyboski.
Thatsa sum funny stuffa dere. All Paisanos, D'Lionela.

I know somebdy in the film industry,
Here's an outtake (that's what he calls it) fromthe film that never made it to the final cut.
He also joked that the only person mising from this photo is Frank Sinatra.
Thats funny Ken! On a side note, whenever I place an order at Trainworld over the phone, I swear" the nanny" is on the other end of the line.
"Got da awda numba hon?"
Hey, Riko, DON'T mess with The Nanny. She'll screw up your order without "da numba".

"I'm going to York, to make them an offer for that Hudson that they can't refuse..."
And here I dought dat my-ah familia was a de only tree rail mafia...
Do not forget many of those pre-war Lionel trains were designed in Italy.
I wonder what was said about new pricing at the meeting ?? Probably got a good laugh.
FUGETABOUTIT.
lol... perhaps the meeting went something like...
"But don't ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever. .... a man in my position can't afford to be made to look ridiculous.
Dumb move. I have ancestors who actually were in the mafia. Generally speaking, those who are made take a dim view of anyone pretending to be or pretending to be someone who is. I foresee many new faces at next year's Top Dealer meeting. And that's not a joke.

Got ties to the mafia, doesn't mean I don't mind a good laugh every now and then Greg
We never use that M word. It does not exist.
folks I think the overall original context and subsequent replies refer to a motion picture as opposed to anyone real or living.
Some people REALLY need to lighten up...
