Here is how the News & Products from the National Train Show works.....
One of the MR staff members comes to your booth, looks for interesting
things and asks you what is new. You show them, and if they are
interested, they take the model back to a photo area to shoot a nice
picture. Upon returning with your sample, they ask for information
about the model. Naturally, whatever you tell them can be edited down
a bit. And normally, they are asking this while twenty other folks are
at the booth all asking questions also so perhaps a detail or two gets
overlooked.
Too bad the cars shown had ugly couplers, but perhaps that was what was
on display and handy.
I don't see this as an MR portraying S wrong issue.
Take care
Bill
