Lionel 746 set in movie | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Rev LenOGR Forum Member

Do I recall that in the movie, "On the Beach" there was a Lionel 746 N&W J on a table? The same scene with the coke bottle attached to a blind somehow tapping out what they thought was Morse code - have I got that all confused? I looked up the 55 trivia things from the movie and the Lionel train did not appear. Some help please ... and thanks in advance. Len

Well, at least it is possible from a timing perspective. The 746 was issued in 1957 and the movie came out in 1959 which means filming probably was as early as 1958.

Around 1:36. I didn't see a locomotive. I didn't linger.

I watched the movie - beginning to end - did NOT see the 746. Must have been in another movie. Thanks everyone for your help. Maybe I can return the favor sometime in the future. Len

That's the set as I recall. I just don't recall the movie! So this is what 75 is like. I can hardly wait to find out what 80 is like! Thanks Joe! Len
