No new warehouse videos arrived this week, but since Christmas is a lot about model trains, I thought it would be fun to show a video from the past. Most people in chat, including Chad, never saw this video before. It’s actually quite an amazing piece of engineering. It’s from Lionel and it was available more than 25 years ago. It’s a beautifully designed Chessie Locomotive & Coal Tender that runs in place, under a plastic cover if you want. No only does it run in place, there’s a whistle, bell, steam engine sounds and even smoke. It was over $2,000 way back then and you still needed to buy a transformer to run it!

If you’re a train lover, here’s a website to check out: https://virtualrailfan.com/free/ Go to their YouTube Channel for a lot of free train videos. I use their $4.99 monthly version where I have created several dashboards of my favorite trains around the country.

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show!
1. Video can be ANYTHING about a gadget: I bought a piece of crap. I bought a gadget I love. I have an old gadget I can’t part with because it was ‘high tech’ years ago! Even a ‘What The Heck Is It? Gadget.
2. Videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long in Horizontal Format! Low production value is fine, but we need to hear you and see your gadget clearly! You can be in the video if you like.
3. Post your Video on YouTube and click ‘unlisted’ when you upload it if you want, but not “Private” or we won’t be able to see it. Send us the URL link from YouTube.
4. If we show your video (and we show 99% of them) and live in the US or Canada you’ll get an autographed current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live outside of the US & Canada, I’ll autograph an Alfred E. Neuman photo to you, scan it & email you a high res image. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it’s a copy. We’ve tested it out and fans say they look terrific!
