Frankly I don't get it with most commemorative presidential engine custom runs. JFK, Ronald Reagan, Biden, Harris, Trump, Wendall Wilkie, etc. For one thing what's the hurry? These presidents have been dead for how long? Well at least some of them.
If you want a commemorative engine I have one suggestion, Alfred E. Neuman. After all he ran for President at least in the magazine. Who else Pat Paulson, nah.
That and scale cars to go with it.
I mean Mad Magazine is basically in the tank right? What can their licensing fees be compared with Star Wars, or Hello Kitty?
If we don't get a Mad Magazine scale train soon the folks who care about such things will be as dead as the usual gang of idiots who ran the magazine.
MTH/ Lionel/METCA, anybody got your ears on?

I am doing my part via kit bashing. Will probably do a LC ALCO custom diesel in 2025. But at a previous York, I did bring up the "MAD Magazine" topic to those above.

That’s what we need. A scale Hello Kitty 4-8-4!

I am still looking for the YELLOW SUBMARINE car that Lionel made that emulated the Beatles. THAT would be a true prize to my collection.  |
