"Model Railroading in the News" is a weekly post of news stories
about model railroading of all gauges.  These stories didn’t "make the
cut" for a separate post on OGaugeWatch but are worth listing
nonetheless.

While reading some of the reviews of the new Superman movie, I noticed that several mention a train layout belonging to Lex Luther.  The layout is supposed to be a replica of Metropolis.  You can check out a photo from the movie here and a production design sketch of the layout here.

Jim from Jim’s Train Shop provided a list of MTH product cancellations on the OGR forum.  There are several NFL themed items on the list.  You can view the entire list  here.  Apparently train manufacturers canceling products from their latest catalogs is a common practice when new items have low pre-order sales.

There’s only 6 days left before the poll for June closes.  If you haven’t done so already be sure to participate in the June poll found here.

Thanks!
