On December 21st, 1995, Tom McComas (Video Producer & Founder of TM Books & Videos) appeared on The Late Late Show with fellow Train collector & Broadcaster Tom Snyder to promote his then newly released A Lionel Christmas video & to talk model trains with Tom. Snyder was gifted a custom Lionel C&O Streamlined Hudson & Observation car by McComas made by Lionel just for Tom. Following Tom's passing in 2007, said Streamlined Hudson & Observation car was given to McComas as Tom wanted McComas to have it.
