MishM*A*S*H 45: Bachmann M*A*S*H Supply Train Set

I am not a model railroader, but I have heard of Bachmann. I remember seeing model train sets in the store when I was a kid, and while I liked them, I don’t remember ever having one. That changed in 2024 when I purchased a complete in box Bachmann M*A*S*H Supply Train set. They aren’tContinue reading “MishM*A*S*H 45: Bachmann M*A*S*H Supply Train Set”

MishM*A*S*H 35: Tristar Dog Tags

MishM*A*S*H 2: Smithsonian Set Piece Souvenir

After viewing the “M*A*S*H: Binding Up the Wounds” exhibit at the Smithsonian Institute’s Museum of American History, you would have likely visited the gift shop to see what M*A*S*H items you could take home. Earlier this month, I wrote about the Smithsonian Exhibit Catalog, but there were other items you could purchase including posters, shirts,Continue reading “MishM*A*S*H 2: Smithsonian Set Piece Souvenir”
