Train in a B reel movie

It's a 1666.

And the tender is backwards when the scorpions attack, but correct in an earlier scene they used several times...

Thanks Rusty!  I was watching in real time not recording so could not rewind to see number.

Backwards tender reminds me of a catalog picture where the tender was backwards, Even wife spotted that one and wondered why the coal was in back and water fill was by engine.  And still another picture where the photographer just set engine and cars on track with most wheels higly-pigly

BERWYN? 

I was watching Svengoolie online in a chat with some chums and made a comment along the lines of "The Lionels!  NOOOOOO!"  at the time...

Yep, we watch Svengoolie every Saturday night on ME channel of our over the air TV station (can't justify $50/month for basic cable TV).  Figured no one else watched Svengoolie but they do!

And the kid in wife and I also watch the morning cartoon shows on ME to boot, second childhood.

I also watched that movie on Saturday night. The engine was a Lionel #1666 Locomotive that was derailed by the scorpion.

Horrific!  

rrman: My son presented me with the DVD's of the mid-50s (20th Century is understood...LOL) Saturday AM TV show Fury.  I love the innocence and respect people had for one another.  The period vehicles (cars and trucks), even aircraft, are rides and flights that take me back when I was a kid in the country who stayed glued to the tube many a Saturday morning.

In one episode of this "horse opera" is a long shot of a Southern Pacific Daylight passenger train at speed.  I haven't watched any of them in a while, but I believe there is a washout where Joe and Fury save the day.

Another episode has Joe and his sidekick buddy running an American Flyer S gauge freight powered by the C&NW Baldwin Diesel switcher.  A refomed convict (he had killed a man in an accident) brings the boys a new Santa Fe Warbonnet Alco set of PA's, albeit less passenger cars.

Missing today is yours truly, wide eyed and eating a bowl of one of the cereals (usualy Sugar Crisp) made by Post, who sponsered the show.

I believe the Tender in the movie was a Lionel #2466W.

I watch Svengoolie on the Me TV channel,  I also a watch the Comet channel( a lot of Godzilla) mostly on the weekend, I love the 1950s monster movies.  we went to the Saturday matinee at the local movie theater to get our fill on the monsters. We also watched them on TV, old Roland/Zacherley,

Did someone say...Zacherle?

I have an autographed copy of this knocking about somewheres.  Nice chap, Zacherle.  Met him at a CreatureCon in New Jersey a quarter century ago...

Mitch you are a lucky guy, I met the famous Forest Ackerman in LA when I lived out there. he had a museum in his house,  lot of 1950 stuff, I was in heaven.

I recently watched a 1940's Michael Shayne B movie mystery with Lloyd Nolan as the detective. Virtually the whole movie takes place on a passenger train. Of course many A movies feature trains (North by Northwest, Murder on the Orient Express, etc.). I wonder if  Lionel or any other manufacture made an 0 gauge version of the Orient Express?

John

Peter,  you are correct.
