There is a pretty enjoyable Christmas movie, new this year, on Lifetime Channel: "A Very Merry Toy Store." It stars Melissa Joan Hart & Mario Lopez as owners of competing mom & pop toy shops fighting the arrival of a big box toy store in their town. In Mario's store, an O gauge layout is seen (but operating only briefly as trains pass Lopez' face in a close-up shot), LOTS of orange Lionel boxes in a handful of scenes, a wall of Large Scale & O gauge trains in the background... & a peculiar little layout in the display window. It appears to be HO &, although it moves, the train appears to lack an engine! Will have to watch again. Its enjoyable enough, & a change of pace from the cookie-cutter "movies" Hallmark Channel has been cranking out over the last several years. Check it out!
