Hey Chris,
I was actually just thinking about that. Dennis got called out of our interview before I could grab photos, and then I was supposed to get them from Al yesterday, but it never happened. I'll see what I can dig up. I really want you guys to see this set, they really have done a nice job.
Thanks Derek. I checked the LCCA site but no luck.
Chris,
Dennis and I spoke for a half hour. He is sending me the art work for both locos and the caboose tomorrow. You'll have to wait a bit longer to see the rest of the rolling stock.
The simple fact is that this is a non linear media. You can skip around and find the parts you want. I personally like to listen to the whole shebang as sometimes you can pick up some tidbits of info that you might miss by jumping around.
Like the part where Mike talks about the 990s being del.....
That's right on all counts - plus the media is not only non-linear it's non-visual as well. Eric Siegel's reviews hold my attention throughout partly because of his deft use of a green pointer to home in on a high definition image of his latest engine, and then he runs that engine right before your eyes. H*ll, I'm even interested when I already have that engine! What is effectively a radio show simply can't have that visual impact.
I understand the "Just the facts, ma'am" school of thought but Derek's podcasts are a real boon to someone like me who doesn't get to the meetings/conventions. Hearing straight from Lionel staff what is over the horizon in terms of products is much better than reading someone's second-hand written report of what they said. I thought some of the comments were carefully weighed so as not to induce unrealistic expectations.
Apples and oranges.
Apples and oranges.
But definitely not a lemon.
