@trumptrain posted:I certainly remember the CK episodes with Lionel trains. Those episodes really would wet my appetite for Lionel trains every time I'd see them for sure. If my memory serves me correctly those episodes would open with the trains running and of course the Captain at the throttle .... a ZW of course. I was always so bummed because I could only watch 10 minutes of the show before my Mom would force me out the door to school. I think the episode would run twice per year; one during the regular season and secondly the same show during summer re-runs.
Lou N. - I'd love to read your guest editorial in CTT. Unfortunately I don't have any train mags lying around that go back that far.
There used to be a weekday kids show broadcast from Baltimore on one of the local network affiliates ( I think WJZ TV ) called the Early Riser with Stu Kerr as the host. This show was on just before Captain K. He would sometimes ( once a year ) have a set of trains on that show. I don't recall if they were Lionel or American Flyer.
I found the guest commentary. It was from July 2000. It was about CK and it also promoted Roger Carp's new Display Layout Book (I had contributed a number of blueprints to this book).
