Notch 6 Episode 45- In this episode I travel to Michigan to interview former Lionel owner and President Richard Kughn. I sat down with Mr. Kughn in his train room and we chatted for over an hour about Lionel Trains, Madison Hardware, the LCCA and more. There are stories about his time running Lionel and his thoughts on the past, present, and future of the O gauge hobby. Mr. Kughn is a true legend in the hobby, and it was a pleasure to speak with him. Special thanks to The Lionel Collectors Club of America who helped to arrange this meeting. Video from this interview will be posted at a later date on the LCCA website. 

Andy Edelman Vice President of Marketing from MTH Electric Trains returns to Notch 6 to talk about the MTH 2015 Volume one catalog.

We also discuss the S gauge and European MTH lines included in this catalog.
