NBC to show CSC layout on SNF

Jack

 

When i worked the Fox games, we shot the Lionel display in Chestefield. We didn't do many Steeler games because of doing the other conference. 

 

We we also shot the display in Dallas in the mall. I always pushed for local layouts to be shot. 

 

My company owns and operates the mobile units for NBC. Give those guys the works. They're a bunch of good guys. 

Dr. Jack:

 

Thanks for the heads-up.  As a Steeler fan for over 6 decades it hurts to say this but will anyone except Bengals fans watch that game given how badly the Steelers are playing?  I may DVR it and then only watch the footage of the CSC Miniature Railroad!

Thanks for the heads up!!!!

I'm going to see if they can burn a DVD of the footage they shot. 

Cool.  I'll have to DVR the game.  Hopefully they show more than just a few seconds of video.  The CSC layout deserves the national exposure.

Marty, if you can get a copy of their footage and show it here on the Forum it would give the many from out of the area an opportunity to see how the entire layout comes together.

An extra-special reason for me to watch one of my favorite teams tomorrow night.  

I will be watching. Thanks for posting this.

We'll probably watch...I may have a blindfold on, considering this season, but we'll probably watch...

 

On a related note, Isaly's and Lionel are giving away a family membership to CSC AND a Peanuts Christmas train set. Want to bet all of us know someone who could use either or both?

Did I miss something?  Watched the game last night, but didn't see any train segments.

 

That doesn't really surprise me though because they will often film segments in advance that never get used.  Then again, maybe they aired it while I was outside with the pooch for a few minutes, who had some business to attend to.

 

Still, "my team" won, which is the important thing in the long run.  

I didn't see anything either but then again watched very little of the game.

 

I asked the engineers on the truck for a copy of any footage they shot.  If and when I get it, I'll post it.  Too much better TV on last night than that so it only got checked out during commercial on the channel I was watching.

 

When we shot at the Lionel Layout back in Detroit about 12 years back or so Chuck Horan made up special "NFL on FOX" box cars.  I made sure that we had quite a few bumps going to break with the Lionel layout in it.  Of course it helped that all the guys on the crew knew I was into trains.  After all I sent them to Lionel just for that reason.

I didn't see anything, either.  I guess they thought that people taking a "polar bear plunge" in the river was more interesting than the CSC.

 

Oh, well.  At least it was a good game.

With the exception of just a few minutes away from the TV in my cozy bedroom, as noted earlier, I watched the entire game.  I guess the trains just didn't make it this time around.  No big deal, but the exposure would have been nice…any exposure to toy trains this time of the year is a real plus.

Unfortunately there is so much to get into a game often thee is just no time.  It just depends on what is happening on the field.

 

If I had a dime for everything that didn't air during my career I'd be rich (and not the Melvin type).

I had my finger on the Record button …for nothing. Oh well, maybe next time..

I did catch this going on in Allan’s neck of the woods.


 

 

 

 

Happy Holidays..

Didn't get to see the first half running trains at Kennywood Park with the Pittsburgh Independent Hi-Railers. Thinking it would be shown early for kids to watch but  from what I read here guess no one saw the layout.  We still have an outside chance if the Steelers get to the playoffs & NBC has the game. (LOL).

I watched the whole game and didn't see any shots of the CSC layout either.  But they did have plenty of other local scenes filling those spaces between the end of a commercial break and the return to the field.  There were outdoor night-time shots of the city and there was also a 15 to 20-second shot of the inside of what looked like a public building decorated for Christmas but I did not hear the announcers identifying the building?

 

But the game itself was a pleasant surprise, but likely too little, too late, for our "Stillers" this season.   

 

Bill

I turned off the game after that completely unnecessary filthy, dirty blindside jaw-breaking block of the Bengals' punter.  No flag!  Wow.  The nfl really needs to hire some refs who don't show up for work with a white cane and a seeing eye dog.

 

Glad to know I didn't miss the trains.
