John DeSantis has collected one of everything and in every variation from every Standard Gauge manufacturer. This unprecedented collection is displayed in rooms dedicated to Lionel, American Flyer, and Ives. The smaller train makers are displayed in the "Everyone Else" room. John also has layouts dedicated to each major manufacturer, and the layouts are "pure" - all the components - transformers, rheostats, track, switches, trains and accessories - are from the correct era and from the same manufacturer.
Caryl Pettijohn thinks big. His train room is 3,000 square feet, with a 2,500 square foot Standard Gauge layout with 76 switches, 2,500 feet of track, the longest straight-a-ways you will ever see, and 20 trains can run simultaneously.
TM has produced over 100 shows and sold millions of videos. In this 40th Anniversary DVD, Tom McComas and Joe Stachler, along with I Love Toy Trains narrator Jeff McComas, reminisce about people they've met, layouts they've seen, and the fun they've had.
While the new Toy Train Revue's content is ALL NEW, our goal is the same as it was with the first Toy Train Revue adventure, which debuted in the spring of 1991 - to cover all things toy trains.
Toy Train Revue has something for every toy train enthusiast - prewar, postwar, modern era, Lionel, American Flyer, MTH - 90 minutes of action and fun.
