Indianapolis, Indiana

Hi everyone.  This is Bob Kerekes from the New York office.  I work in sales, but I don’t always get to interact one-on-one with our collectors, so the Product Showcase really is an opportunity for me to get to know you.

I left New York yesterday on a flight into Indianapolis.  It was rainy and nasty when I got in, and I headed right to the hotel that Jason had left our demos at.  We got the show set up, and despite the conditions, I think it was a big success.

We counted nearly 70 people at the show and everyone seemed very into our new lines.

We showed our DVD of all the new products and technologies that our team had been working on over the previous months.  There were then copies of the DVD distributed to everyone in attendance along with catalogs and the VISION boxcar raffle.  We do these things at all our Showcases, so if you want to come join us, please check our upcoming schedule here.

Once again, the demos of our technical prototype and sample of the Pennsylvania CC2s engine got a lot of attention.  I can't wait until the real thing is on the market later this year!

Special thanks to Larry Pfost of Train Express in Indianapolis who really helped make this event a success.  If you’re ever in the Indy area, you should definitely stop in.

I got back to New York this morning, but the show continues on tonight at the Lionel Offices in Chesterfield, Michigan!
