This is a great short, sometimes it comes on Turner Classic Movies, I think MGM did this...\

It says Warner Brothers and Vitaphone Corp around the 5 second mark.
It is a classic though!

This video is the 'ground hogs day' of model railroading!! It was posted just a few weeks ago.....The only thing funnier than the short film is how often it is discovered!!! 
It's been "discovered" for more than 25 years!

Well for me it just popped up on my YouTube feed, so it’s new to me

Let me tell you about this huge train layout in Germany.
An oldie and a goodie! Also check out the other vintage classic: Toccata for Toy Trains by Charles and Ray Eames, a true "art film" about toy trains, and music by Elmer Bernstein. For Lionel postwar buffs, the original Lionel film (1976) by McComas and Touhy is still unsurpassed: "I'm a train, I'm a train, I'm a Lionel train...." and includes an explosive finale! ENJOY!

THAT would be a neck in neck race!!!!! Slight lead to Germany as that one was posted on my real car forum!!!
"Let me tell you about this huge train layout in Germany."
You're a Sadist.
I always thought it was MGM because Ted Turner owns it. But they do show Warner Bros. flicks and Universal too...

(Sigh.)
What about from this old Cary Grant film?
Peter
What is the name of the Cary Grant movie?
"People will talk" is Grant, ...Beep beep beep.
"Four's a crowd" is Errol Flynn, ......Whoo whoo
That has a giant outdoor layout featuring a new Lionel Zepher.
"Nothing but trouble" has a train pop up from the dinner table to deliver Frankfurter condiments to a bunch of wienies Funny, but odd movie, not for the squeamish.
"Night of the meek" Twighlight Zone, opening scene. ("A Stop At Willoughby, a "real train" story. Many layouts might be substituted for the town in it 
)

Nothing but trouble is a favorite of mine. The two old tank cars with hand pumps on the top dome for mustard and ketchup and the 'peekle shooting train!!....funny stuff. Very odd film....but why the squeamish warning??? I watch it twice a year at least....
Great film folks! I spend a lot of time watching videos of O gauge stuff. Coming over to O gauge almost exactly a year ago. Has been fun!

George O'hanlon who plays George Mcdoakes on" So you want a model railroad" was also the voice of George Jetson on the Jetsons.
I can tell you that any one of those ladies could get me to swear off trains forever
