Here is my Toy Train Historical Foundation WWI Army train running at my club. It's a sing along, so get your lungs warmed up.

Great train, great song, and overall awesome video!
Beautifully done! I wish I had bought that train back when they were offered.
Dave,
Well done sir, here is a piece of knowledge for you about your video song "Over There" The man who wrote it, is the only non-military person in US history to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. His patriotic music & Broadway Musicals helped win both WWI & WWII. His name is George M. Cohan.

I am a huge fan of George M. Cohan's music and the biopic, "Yankee Doodle Dandy", starring James Cagney in a wonderful performance as Cohan!
The medal Mr. Cohan received was NOT the Congressional Medal of Honor for exceptional valor in combat, but rather the Congressional GOLD Medal, a civilian award. 
First class YT Video. Great club layout from Community Model Railroad Club, Frostburg, Maryland. The tinplate is classic.
Thanks for sharing this with the OGR Forum.
You can't help but want to step lively listening to those great patriotic songs of a bygone age. This is a great video and that is one of the nicest looking Army trains I've ever seen. I wish Lionel Corporation Tinplate would produce a few nice looking add on cars for their Armored train patterned after the ones in this video. They would add a lot of pizzazz to the recent reproductions and I'm quite sure they would sell like hotcakes.
