saw an Adam 12 yesterday where they chased robbery suspects thru Travel Town.
My favorite, comedy short. Featuring Lionel Trains:
Joe McDoakes - So You Want a Model Railroad."
I like the Movie, Silver Streak, saw it at the theater in 1976
and several times on TV.

Emperor of the North was fantastic! !
If you can find it somewhere, such as youtube. there is a movie circa 1942 called "Hitler Wanted Dead or Alive" with Ward Bond and another familiar looking actor who played the Sheriff on The Rifleman.
Anyhow....for a brief 10 seconds they show an early Stainless Steel body Zephr. It's on very early in the movie..and no, John Wayne doesn't make a cameo
Not really good, but Barbara Eden was in the Chattanooga Choo Choo.

Just watched the General with Buster Keaton again last night. Great comedy with a focus on the trains. It is a bit "painful" to watch the destruction of an old wood burning engine however. At least we've got them on film.
Does anyone know where it was shot?

Skyfall.
Man from Uncle -- The Children's Day Affair. Napoleon Solo is captured by Thrush at their "youth" training academy and handcuffed to a Marklin train layout (3-rail stud). He has to keep the trains from colliding or derailing to prevent nerve gas from killing him. A nicely done layout.

In the area of Cottage Grove, Oregon. Same area as Emperor of the North.
Keaton's "General" was filmed on the Oregon, Pacific and Eastern. The locomotives came from a logging railroad. Keaton also did his own stunts.
The train wreck was supposedly the most expensive special effect of the time.

The train scenes in Dr. Zivago were filmed in Canada. with equipment "imported" for the movie.

In CP land - Where else would it be cold enough?
I also think they filmed some in Finland on an old Russian invasion route. They weren't far from the Soviet border. That train would make an interesting model group.

Ahh yes. I have this series on dvd. This and Star Trek were my shows growing up. Neverget tired of watching them either.
Robert Vaughn was on Law & Order SVU last week...Mr Solo has aged a bit since he played with those trains....
Divergent.

Banacek: Season 1, Episode 2 "Project Phoenix":
The multi-million dollar Phoenix, prototype for a revolutionary new car, disappears from a non-stop train en route to Boston - flat-car included. Banacek is called in to find the missing vehicle before a huge insurance claim must be paid.
Includes 12" to the foot scale trains as well as O Gauge - Looks like early 70's Atlas O.
BBC TV show called Monarch of the Glen. Takes place on a Scottish estate. Multiple scenes at the local railway station and on a train. And the main character's father has a good sized layout on a billiard table. I'm not very good with british trains, but it's two rail and the locos are clockwork.

...
you would think that with all the CGI editing tools available today, someone would change the Santa Fe and SP trains hauling the group from Florida to Vermont to something that actually traveled up the east coast.
holiday cheers...gary
the I Love Lucy Christmas Special, little Ricky gets a Lionel set.
So far no one has mentioned probably the FIRST train movie, Edison's 1903 The Great Train Robbery.

Two TV shows that I remember (maybe already mentioned in this long thread):
1) An "Andy Griffith Show" episode where Andy and Barney go down to the station in Mayberry, NC to meet the train. In pulls a Union Pacific passenger train!
2) The famous "Ozzie and Harriet" episode about Ricky's trains. The zany neighbor, "Thorny," and Ozzie go down to a hobby shop and you can see a nice selection of Lionel trains and accessories from that era. Great story about a kid growing too old for his toys, but Ozzie relives HIS youth.
