Marx, Lionel and K Line in a new TV commercial ad campaign 2016

That's a very creative ad campaign....maybe it will help the hobby become more "mainstream" once again.

I like that smoking #333; I have the nonsmoking version.

that is very cool!!!

Very nice commercial. I hope it does shed some light on you organization as well as O gauge trains.

Btw, how is it when I watch the D.I.Y. network and those home improvement shows do I come across multiple episodes of renovating Canadian houses and these houses stll support knob and tube wiring?�� Are you guys up North not eager to change with the times?

Theres alot more train folk out there than we think. A lot of people in their basements or apartments. Any publicity is good for the hobby.

Gee I've  never seen a program  renovating a Canadian house  all our programs on Canadian channels are about Vermont ,  Maine and New Hampshire  houses being rewired   .......

With this add perhaps some will see what they can create in the extra space  and obtain start up 7sets at least      Bravo for the ad  very well done 

Yes, Rob. Although, I feel many people think they need this kind of huge layout, when the truth is a small layout.. is just as much fun. 

Very Very COOL John !!!!

Sounds typical...when the expensive stuff quits, bring on the kid-proof Marx.....

Yeah, the trains are cool and the 30-second commercial has a lot of visual energy. I had to watch it a second time to realize that the main point  of the commercial seems to be, that a new energy-efficient furnace and water heater require so much less space that you can move a wall and have more space in the next room, big enough for a bigger model train layout or whatever. Hmmm ... do a lot of Canadian houses have really big obsolete furnaces and water heaters??

Canadian houses are just like in the US. some are older, some newer. but this thread is about the trains!
