They had an ad for the NY state lottery during an Olympic broadcast the other night, and in the commercial ( I believe it was cash for life) you see the guy with a layout, which I believe was 3 rail O (from the size of the trains and also the transformer, looked like an MRC transformer), and him running his trains with the caption something like "what you can do with your life now that you are not working" or some such.....haven't found it on you tube and only saw it that once.

For the past few days, there has been a toy expo in NYC at a huge exposition building presented as news on several local News channels. These news items spent a considerable amount of time showing the camera around the expo hall. Not once did I glimpse any trains. Maybe I missed them? Doubtful. But there were plenty of flying whirl-a-gig-type gadgets and huggable toys, that I noticed.

Yep, it was HO, the transformer was an MRC it looked like, and that confused me *lol*. I realized the point of the commercial was kind of Twilight-zone ish with tinges of Edward Hopper, and it is supposed to be shot on the layout (explains the lack of people!). Kind of like the old Twilight Zone with Barry Nelson stuck on some alien kid's train layout. I had a laugh when it said you could enjoy being a kid again, I would guess the people doing the commercial never ran into the rivet counter crowd, if they had they would know not to call it "child's play" or the like *lol*
