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!

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.

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

Thanks Marty!  Will fix lighting in the future.

Dave: Correct length is just under 20”. And the O36 curve is correct. 

 

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

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.

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?

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.

1.        PRR E7’s were delivered with the Trainphone antenna and they are correct for the timeframe of this paint scheme in service.  The antenna were removed in the 1960s and not replaced in the Museum’s restoration.
2.       Firebox flicker but no ashpan glow – same as previous releases based on the tooling.
