I have to tell you guys that you're doing some pretty incredible things with social media. While I don't catch everyone of your FB presentations, the ones I do catch are pretty entertaining. The only thing I would suggest since you are doing so much maybe get some small studio stand lights. Ken was very dark during the Virtual meet.
I'll be watching Wednesday!
i will be there!
😎
What I really like is the questions that are asked, whether it is Ken or someone asking him to ask. There are always good ones asked, and Ken tries to pass them all to Ryan. Perhaps Ken can get Ryan to clarify the lengths of the Light Mike's as well as the minimum curve they take. Length said 30" and curve was 36 I think? Someone had commented about other engines being able to take the curve because of the tooling used. It would be interesting to see if the catalog is right or a mistake.

Ken does actually take questions from the Facebook feed which is a plus in my book.
Thanks Marty! Will fix lighting in the future.
Dave: Correct length is just under 20”. And the O36 curve is correct.

Indeed. And sometimes some are off the wall questions, others are what everyone is dying to know.

Thanks Ken, really appreciate it. Keep up the great work.

No worries it was just a thought! Definitely are unique in the hobby doing this. You are one of the few stores that really take advantage of all the available platforms.
I'm liking the TrainWorld presentations. Nothing quite like it on social media.
I've watched almost every presentation - and I'll certainly be there Wednesday, 7/22, for Ryan's presentation.
Thanks, Ken!
I'm liking - EXCEPT, Ken, it's "EDT" right now ... not "EST". LOL!
Last weeks show was like 4 hours and 42 minutes long - glad I watched taped delay so I could skip to the manufacturers I was most interested in.
Andy Edelman's double and his comment on the heat in the building at the end was comical, he got a good chuckle out of Ryan.

May be a silly question but can I watch on Trainworlds website ???
Not a silly question. We are looking into software to support this. Today we are trying to go live on facebook and youtube live streaming on both platforms at once. If this work we might have a way to stream it on our website as well. Stay tuned.
There are no silly questions, no dumb questions, all questions are welcome I'm sure. I know some may be thinking about Strasburg #90 like me, but Ryan will probably only say it's on his list. I know when I had talked to him about it and other engines, he said he really wanted to do it. The other engines were maybe's or we'll see what's in the works. Someone usually asks about subway sets from what I've seen over the past bunch of years. Are subways even the same scale in RL? I know there was a post with a subway car I think being towed on a flatbed recently. Someone said it is smaller track width.
We go live on 6 EDT TONIGHT!
www.facebook.com/trainworldllc or for the first time on youtube live at the same time https://youtu.be/5yfX6Jsmbvs
Excellent event! Thanks Ken and Ryan!
I'll have to take a look on YouTube, Ken! You are really coming up with a lot of great live events!!
I missed the beginning. I had wanted to get on early but got delayed. I was hoping to make it for the Pennsy E7's as I was curious if the model with the antennas was as delivered since the ones in the museum don't have them on there. Maybe they got taken off or they had been in disrepair?
Will the new light mikes have the glowing ash pan feature?
Impressed –
Ryan seems in tune with the details only a few possess. It’s nice to see some different freight car type offerings.

The E7 AA units for Preorder were 1950's betterment projects. Lionels original E7 from 2008? with 5 Stripe DLGE color and small number boards are in the "As Delivered" paint scheme.
Thanks Ken on the E7's. I'll have to pop on YouTube tonight to watch what I missed.
