Searched the thread, but didn't see it mentioned by either the movie's title or the main actor (Chevy Chase), the movie is called "Nothing But Trouble" theirs a dinner scene where the Judge(Dan Akroyd) has a Lionel set inside the table that has condiments on it. Starts at the 4:30 mark- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Apjvf9YNzEM
There is a commercial on right now for a new car with a train running around it and that Steamer Loco has to be the best Smoker I have ever seen, could it be smoking that good or was it doctored up with magic for the commercial?
Just saw the opening of the movie "Holiday Affair", made in 1949. The opening credits and first few minutes show, I assume, Lionel trains in a Christmas display at a department store. Robert Mitchum is the salesman. I'm curious to see what else shows up.
About the Addams Family movie?
The diesel loco was a complete FAKE
was designed to explode
other movies with model trains are:
Total Recall with Arnold That one was a model on the set of Mars
Chip n Dale with Donald Duck: Out of Scale & Toy Tinkers
Sierra #3 4-6-0 Need I say more?
ohh in a early B&W episode of The Wild Wild West there was a HO scale train set!
Lone Ranger movie there was a HO set in the business car
Hopefully Pixar/Disney is working on a Trains movie hehe
I dunno if this one has been mentioned yet....
The Twilight Zone: Stopover in a Quiet Town.
The train scene starts at about 20:00 but if you haven't seen it already, I suggest you do. It's one of the best. (Then again, all of them were!)
In the Crime drama CSI (Vegas) season 7 had a recurring story (episodes 1, 2, 7, 10, 11, 16, 20, & 24 and then wraps up in season 8) about a serial killer who built scale dioramas of the crime scene and sent them to the crime lab. In season 7 episode 10 “Loco Motive” the plot appears to climax when a man who builds model trains is confronted and about the murders and confesses. They confront him in his train room, HO scale ATS&F, I think. It is featured prominently. During the investigation, the CSIs visit a hobby shop which was enlightening to the general public. When ever this plot line popped up, my wife gave me a strange “are YOU a serial killer” look.
Saw this when the show first hit the Tube and laughed my *** off at Monroe's excitement and nicks utter lack of understanding...train Guys!!:laugh::laugh:
