Doesn't seem like the Railway Expresses are selling too well. Is this why
TLC doesn't get into trains more? I am constantly surprised by the number
of people who don't know that TLC makes trains.
Has anyone ever seen a commercial advertising Lego trains? Has anyone seen
anything besides the catalogs advertising trains? I know as a kid (pre-9V),
I never saw a lego train advertised. When did trains start showing up in US
catalogs?
Regards,
Steve Martin
