Any train model collectors here?

My granddad left me with old lionel model trains 027 & O Scale engines #5651945 set and I’m not sure how much its worth.

The motor also needs some repair. Has anyone used these lionel trains manuals before? I need help in valuation and repair of this old set as I dont know what to do with it.

Actually freedom of speech means just that…you may write trashy stuff. Your point is totally out there, all of the books you mention were/are in print. The book in question is NOT in print because of conjecture and that is censorship.

You are not even close to understanding the issue or you do not understand the freedoms we have and why we would defend even a trashy book as it relates to freedom of speech.

“On the release of the movie “Passion of Christ” – a lot of movie theatres were burned down by christians, the audiences were threated to be burnt alive with the theater if they come to watch the movie. The movie screens were torn and burnt…..and close to 100 people lost their lives in all the chaos.”…

Where, when and by whom? This is simply BS. Give one solid example that can be resourced. This did not anywhere.

On the release of the movie “Passion of Christ” – a lot of movie theatres were burned down by christians, the audiences were threated to be burnt alive with the theater if they come to watch the movie. The movie screens were torn and burnt…..and close to 100 people lost their lives in all the chaos.

Where is your source for this? Never heard of that happening. Most Americans enjoyed the Passion. Many said it renewed their faith.

Sherry has accepted herself the her book is imperfect and she has added information which is not true to these personalities

All this teels me is that she acknowledges that it is fiction. She does not try to portray it as fact. Isn’t that good?

Why was america so against ‘The last temptation of the Jesus’, why was it so against ‘Da Vinci Code’. Why were these books not viewed as freedom of speech.

They were. Thats why they were still published. In fact, the Da vinci code was really popular and sold very well – earning Dan Brown tens of millions of dollars.

What happ to freedom of speech when it comes to Infancy gospel of Jesus or Book of Barnabas.

There was a good history channel documentary on these and other banned bible books. Shame you missed it.

Your claims that America censors anti-Christian material is completely bogus. Thats why there is controversy surrounding Jones’ book. People see that anti-Christian material is still printed, and when publishers drop an an anti-Muslim book for religious reasons, they feel that Muslims are getting preferential treatment. I do not believe that is true given that there is anti-muslim literature still out there as well. If some other publisher wants to publish the book, thats their choice. There is no provision in the constitution that grants freedom from being offended. Also, your “examples” of America not tolerating free speech are all references to the actions of private citizens. As far your statements are concerned, the government still alows it. The only speech that is censored by the government is threatening speech. However, Hate speech does not always call for blood and thus some of it will leak through the cracks.

Sherry does not have the liberty to write any trashy stuff under the pretext of fiction and harp the trumpet of ‘Freedom of speech’. Why was america so against ‘The last temptation of the Jesus’, why was it so against ‘Da Vinci Code’. Why were these books not viewed as freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech is a myth which america seems to harp the trumpet as truth.

Sherry has accepted herself the her book is imperfect and she has added information which is not true to these personalities – which give all the more reason for the people to condemn such books which attributes falsified information and is directed towards distortion of History.

The Myth of freedom of speech seems convenient in america – however the same is a horrifying truth in countries like Inida, pakistan, Bangladesh etc.

On the release of the movie “Passion of Christ” – a lot of movie theatres were burned down by christians, the audiences were threated to be burnt alive with the theater if they come to watch the movie. The movie screens were torn and burnt…..and close to 100 people lost their lives in all the chaos.

So is the book by Sherry – it will create a lot of chaos in these countries and God knows how a many lives will be lost…. but the point is ‘WHO CARES?’ – i want my book to be published and I wanna make millions of dollars out of it. Particularly by writing contraversial things….

i see americans flying choppers from Ohio to california to save a cat – but who cares about humans they are too many on this planet….

Its a shameful mentality

I guess thats what freedom of speech is all about in western world.

The author can also publish it somewhere else or self-publish. Since we do not tell news entities what opinions to express or what to report, we can’t tell Random House what to publish. Because it is controversial, its bound to sell…whether it is truth or not. On that note, people suck and they pick and choose what they want to believe anyway. Arguments only work for those on the fence who have no vested interest in the outcome of a debate. If they want to find their own evidence and support their opinion, or express themselves, they will always have the internet as well.
