Tom Snyder Interview with Ward Kimball
Someone at Snapple Must Like Toy Trains
Besides being a late night TV talk show pioneer, Tom Snyder was also a toy train lover and collector. This is evident in an interview he did for his Tomor- -row Show in the late 1970's. These seven segments can be viewed on You Tube. In the first segment, Mr. Snyder mentions that his first locomotive was a scale steam switcher, that accor-
-ding to him never ran to well!
If you are like me you may get teased from time-to-time about your love of toy trains. Not sure how you would actually do this but it gives us hope if there is a power failure...
