From the recesses of “Professor” Tony Cook’s mind, come the musings of a life long model railroader and more info on the history of this hobby.

Life-Like Trains introduced EMD’s BL2 in 1989, the first in their series of higher-quality Proto 2000 models. It made a big impact on the hobby, it was the first serious attempt by a manufacturer to mass-produce an accurate ready-to-run model.

Plus plenty of TV trivia answering the question, where would we be without the “Cone of Silence.” Enjoy !!
