Lionel Trains in Scene from old movie

From one of the many Joe McDoakes one reel wonders...

Four's a Crowd, 1938.

 

I think this clip has been posted a number of times......maybe the biggest floor layout ever!!

Great video, first time I have seen it.

The beep-beep system makes perfect sense. 

BOB.

Thanks for sharing. First time I have seen it as well!

I have seen it before but it is a true classic.  When I was younger I couldn't believe that someone could have that much track on the floor.

One of my favorite old movie scene's with Lionel trains especially with Cary Grant.

Thank you Bob!

It seems to always start so innocently...

Yes it's been posted before but quite a carpet central.

...Doesn't it?

Yeah, and to be perpetually "nine years old".  Wouldn't that be great? 

Thanks, I have never seen this clip Too. Very nice track work and operation.

All the best,

Never saw that before - thanks for posting. That'd be a great layout to have!

AND have the knees that would allow you to get down on the floor and build / operate it!!!

Dave!  Don't tell me you have KNEE problems.  I had mine replaced back in '06, but I still can't kneel on them.  They feel like I'm kneeling on the edge of a claw hammer.  But, I have overcome this problem with super soft gel-filled knee pads.  They cause some sweating behind the knees, but no pain in front.

I have those knee pads......still hard getting up and down!!!!!

Dave:  I don't know about you, but I've got one short leg from walking the hillside around my house.  Makes getting up and down that much harder.  

Fabulous movie clip!

TV - Show - "Leave It to Beaver"

     Mrs. Cleaver decides that Beaver will give little Jimmy his Lionel Trains because he hasn't played with them in over two years. When Beaver takes the trains out to clean them, he gets attached to them all over again and doesn't want to give them away.
