Appears to be a nice layout--what one can see of it--but they definitely need a spokesperson who knows what she (in this case) is talking about when it comes to Lionel trains.
She was only wrong about the metallic composition, the decade, the electronics thing and that they were all made of plastic after that. Other than that, she was right on the money!
I thought perhaps you guys were being pedantic about the spokeslady! Crikey! Even I could have done a better job than that, it's pretty spectacularly wrong, someone needs to straighten her out.
FYI,
The "Please Touch" childrens museum in Phila. is adding a new train exhibit to open this spring(?).
Hopefully there skokesperson will do a better job.
Someone should visit the museum in the video to see if the info to the kids is right; if not they should have to correct it. We have too much revisionist history now.

The spokesperson was the Utica N.Y. Children's Museum of History, Nat'l History, Science & Technology director, Marlene Brown. Wondering how she does with History, Natural History, Science and Technology makes my blood run cold after hearing what she doesn't know about toy trains. Any of y'all in the Utica area might should stop by and help her out.

Let's not forget the part about the steel ones being valuable...
Also, I liked the "horned hand" gestures while explaining it all!
