CTT Video Interview
This is old news but I just recently got a chance to check out Episode 7 of a video series entitled "Bob’s Train Box" on the Classic Toy Trains magazine website. In Episode 7 Bob interviews MTH’s Taylor, the star of MTH’s product demo videos and MTH’s Art Director. When I read about the video on the PreWar Times blog I thought to myself "good for MTH for allowing Taylor to do a video interview, sounds like it could be interesting". Well, I finally did check it out and it was very interesting to say the least. You be the judge. Check it out here and let me know what you think by posting a comment.
