Just had this brought to our attention in the UK. Absolutely brilliant in my opinion.

Very nicely done indeed. Hornby lovers take note.
Very entertaining. Great visuals and sound. Time to go play tinplate!
FANTASTIC film. I loved it. Makes me want to go play with my trains.
Brilliant! Love British litho and tinplate. Anyone catch the "Wabash" bridge at around 2:25? Everything else looked 100% British or European.
And, yes, I realize that the UK is in Europe, but the British consider themselves British and across the channel is "Europe".
That was awesome. I especially like after the near collision the semaphore falling over as if fainting, great stuff. Thanks for the link.

Marx Wabash bridge and also the flashing crossing lights were Marx.

Love it
Excellent! Thanks for posting it!
At 0:36 there are two Lionel prewar freight cars - 653 Hopper and a 655 Boxcar w/ a replacement roof.

Cute. Enjoyed it.
Obviously inspired by the classic Eames film Toccata for Toy Trains.

Very nice, there were also a couple of Lionel cars in the yard at the start
Good stop-action animation, cute story, nice collection. Lots of fun, thanks.
Truly wonderful.
I loved it ! !
That is one terrific film, right up there with "Toccata for Toy Trains.."
