"THE PHANTOM EXPRESS" (click to view entire movie) has some good footage of models posing as 1:1 look-a-likes.
Not a movie but a video from a young man, Evan Roth, I built an N scale layout for when he was 10 years old. He now is all grown up and has his own band and featured that layout in one of his numbers, "Growing Up". Enjoy!

Watch the BR extra features......while events were 'out there' much of the train wrecks were real.....some came close to getting out of hand.
TV trains...Addams family and Capt Kangaroo.....local TV Engineer Bill show which I was on myself!
Engineer Bill? American Flyer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzvdlE45XEI

Yes it does, I rather enjoyed that flick. ( I paused the vid @ 19:13, looks like a third rail in the middle...
.)
How can you forget about the movie "People Will Talk"?
Beep, Beep Beep, Beep Beep Beep
Beep, Beep Beep, Beep Beep Beep
Last night on PBS I watched Sherlock. There was a guy (a subway motorman) had a London underground layout (brief scene of the trains) in his flat. He helped Sherlock solve a terrorist case by locating a bomb laden subway carriage which was craftily placed in a never used station.
When Sherlock rang the guy's doorbell a recorded voice said "mind the gap".
An odd one....The Babysitters. John Leguizamo's character plays with a Fastrack layout in his home. The rest of the movie isn't as PG.
Not a train per se, but in the movie "A League of Their Own", the outfield ball park fence has a Lionel Trains advertising sign, the one on the red and white striped background. A little strange since the movie took place during WWII and new Lionel Trains were not available.
Does anyone know the name of the B&W 40s/50s era movie in which Harry Belafonte sings a "traveling" song while strumming a guitar and following a toy train as it runs on track setup on furniture that flows from one room to the next?
I searched online for the name but was unsuccessful. However, I did find a website that has two long lists of movies, i.e., one for movies with real trains and the other for movies with toy trains. Here's the link:
Bob Nelson

The name of the movie is:
The World, the Flesh and the Devil (1959 film)
It was on TCM last night.

I watch it too. Good movie. You can see the third rails in several shots. I am kind of curious as who made the trains as Engine and Passenger cars could pass for MTH/Lionel trains of today.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that say this. I was just scared to say it.

Impressive video, I could really relate to it! Clever lyrics, good song and the technical video editing is perfect.
