While viewing an old Untouchables late the other night, a 20 yr old James McArthur was portraying a gangster who also liked to play with his toy train. Wait, it has smoke, and choo-choo, and its set in the early 1930s. Somehow, a late 40's Flyer Atlantic set got transported to 1932. Must be a Twilight Zone cross-over.

It happens.

I got one that beats that. I can't remember the title of the flick but it was one of those grade B "sword and sandal" movies made back in the fifties or sixties. Well when they gave the Roman general a head shot during a cavalry charge you could see an airplane flying over his sholder. To add insult to injury the plane was flying behind a high voltage tower.
Like Pete said, "it happens"!
Boy, This really brings back memories.
In the mid-sixties, my Dad and i would be in the basement; me running the trainset on the 4x8, dreaming about the endless circle that went to distant lands....my dad would be trying...again...to finish a part of the basement into a "rathskeller" and the old tv (as opposed to the new TV upstairs in the living room) a RCA Victor cabinet model, black and white, 14" screen, with a cabinet 5 times as big...now used for football and baseball viewing and the occasional Chet and David nightly news cast, showing the sunday afternoon movie....the italian sword and sandals legacies with the ever present hercules wannabe's with the pompadour hair. i always wondered what they used for hair wax back then.
