If you won the lottery...

A commercial for the Washington State Lottery. Steve Carter, who's known as "DelmonteX" here on RailroadForums.com, was involved in the shooting of this commercial. He provided some of the HO modules used in the filming.

The prototype scenes were filmed at the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, WA

That's a hoot.

They have communities for people who love to fly airplanes, why not for those of us who love trains?! A very well done commercial. It's fun AND memorable and helps to ignite the imagination about what you could do if you won. Lucky Steve!

With Steve's photography skills, it is no wonder he was tapped to help with this video!!

Well, they don't have communities, but they have railroad museums, and in fact the locomotive you see in the commercial is at one of those museums. They're always looking for more volunteers to help out!

Wow, they did such a great job digitally with the garage and setup, people are now going to think that is a real setup somewhere (I have heard some people think that NASCAR track set up in the other commerical actually exists somewhere, and that image isn't nearly as realistic as this one)
