Does anyone else remember this item? I am putting on a show at the regional library. I thought a couple of
operating kitbashed cars representing the joys of reading ( pulled by a MTH Reading RR diesel ) of course).
The librarian asked me to include some STEM items. The issue I am referring too was before the STEM acronym
was invented. Even the right year or catalogue name would be a start. I don't need the actual issue, just
images of the relevant pages. Thanks, UnclePeteRR

I believe you may be referring to the MTH 2002 special edition Toy Fair Catalogue. It devoted one detailed page to all the benefits students will accrue getting into model railroading.

you don’t list an email so I couldn’t send it directly to you.
Lionel did sell science kits
Bruce and Mark, After looking what Mark posted, I wondered if that is
correct issue. I recall several colorful pages illustrating electrical, physics
aspects displayed in model railroading. But I am relying on 20 year old
memories. Thank You for your help gentlemen. UnclePeteRR
ps I wish there was someone to answer the phone at MTH
Bruce, What do the pages under "High Tech at its best" show?
Mark posted the most relevant page. There was no "High Tech At It's Best" page other than one page description of DCS, Loco-Sound, and Proto 2 as examples of high tech.
I posted this in your other thread?:
Good on you for taking initiative in the community. Hope the pics & catalogs below help. I taught Secondary Mathematics from my second year to my most recent year of teaching, that second year happened to be when I got back into the hobby. I always wanted to incorporate something toy train related.

the 2003 is very similar to what Mark posted. Note while the section headings for the 2003 and 2001 catalogs are the same, the text under some headings differs
