Kirkland, WA

After a week of rain, the skies parted and a beautiful day shown on Lionel and Eastside Trains April 4th for the "Lionel Product Showcase" event.  Eastside Trains is located in Kirkland WA a suburb of Seattle.  

Steve Suskin (owner) and his team made sure the store was packed with customers.   From 10am to 3pm there were well over 150 people who stopped by to listen to the video, see the blow down, steam whistle and playable bell features and ask a lot of questions.  Over the course of the day Lionel re-played the Vision DVD multiple times as new people came into to store.  Rich Moser was continually running Legacy demonstrations or showing customers all the never before seen in O gauge features of Lionel's steam engines while J. Don and Bob were answering questions.

With Seattle behind us, it's onto Los Angeles for Monday's event at the Train Shack in Burbank, CA.
