What was the name of that movie with the Giant Standard Gauge Layout? Was it Three's a Crowd or something?

The title is Four's a Crowd. Go to www.toytrains.info. Click on "Train Movies." Scroll down to Toy Trains. Keep scrolling down to Four's a Crowd. Click on it.
Thanks!!!!!!!!
I just did a search for it on YouTube. The movie came right up. It is a prewar O-Gauge layout of astronomical proportion. During the clip you will see a 763 Hudson as well as a Zepher racing around this huge layout. It was very enjoyable.
I had no idea there was a movie like that.
Thanks for knowing the name.

PS... Here is the clip. I hope this works.
Mike R, thanks for posting the very nice video. It was great to watch and brings back some memories.

When you watch the train race look at the Hudson and notice they removed the pilot truck, it probably kept derailing at high speed on the uneven trackage and shorting out the race.
I just love those kind of movies. A good ole B&W movie melts my cares away. This was a great post. Quite a layout indeed.
Great fun! Thanks for posting this clip!
That was fun. I need to get me a back yard like that.
On TCM last weekend, they had a special on Christmas Movies. I was taken with
a Holliday Affair with Robert Mitchum made in oh 1948? The actor who played the
little boy in the movie, told the story about the Lionel Trains used as the gift he
wanted for the big day.
It was a Lionel 2343 with Madison Cars. I believe the name that was used for
this set was the Red Flyer Express. Not sure if that is correct. However, the
actor who is now in his 70's told that the following year the director of the movie
gave him this set of Lionel Trains from the movie. He still has the set from this fine Christmas Movie. Great memories from the heyday of Lionel Trains in movies.
Many thanks,
