While watching the "Long Island Medium" with my wife Sunday night, one of celebrity guest was Billy Gardell, best known as "Mike" in the just-ended CBS sitcom "Mike & Molly."  As Theresa the medium entered Gardell's home, a Lionel Pennsylvania Railroad passenger set & die cast loco were in plain view on his fireplace mantle.  It was the silver 027 PRR cars with the burgundy window stripe.  They were sold as an "expansion pack" (6-30004) in 2005-08,  See link , plus another couple cars may have been offered for separate sale.  I have the set & think it pretty cool that we can add another modern-day celebrity like Gardell to the list of Lionel fans!

Interesting.  He is a Pittsburgh native as well.  I always hoped they would find somewhere else for Molly to go and rename the show "Mike and Molly's Family".
