The History International Channel is presenting a 1 hour Voyages episode today on the history of toy trains. The program will air today at 10AM and 4 pm EST. and tomorrow (Thursday) at 4AM.
Steam trains will be featured Friday and Saturday at the same times.
I have tv running into my computer, but don’t get History International on my desk, meaning I can’t record it into my computer. We have the digital cable boxes in the rest of the house, so I guess I have no choice but to park myself in teh living room for an hour this morning.
I watched it, and it was obviously pretty dated, but enjoyable. Some of the vintage material and layotus shown were exceptional.
Even though I am a die-hard Lionel guy, I can’t help but gnash my teeth a bit over the way these types of documentary programs overly romanticize the “JLC” story. Likewise I hit my limit to the show as they were showing those hard-working industrious US workers at the Michigan facility building Lionel trains.
Now excuse me while I get my tounge surgically removed from my cheek.
Maybe you should give DirecTV a try as I don’t have to wait to down load anything, all I do is call up the program guide and flip thru channels and time to record something, and most times I can record up to 12 days or more ahead of time, no need for a T.V. guide paper. Maybe I should mention that I have the premeir channel package with three or more HBO’s and four Showtime channels.[(-D]
Please leave your rats at home Jim or my five cats will have a light snack of rat meet.[dinner]
