How do I get a copy of this on DVD, this is a hoot! Someone had our number down a long time ago
Anyone got a clue as to which layout the second part is filmed on and when this was filmed?
I’m really curious…enjoy!
IIRC, the runaway sequence was filmed at the Pasadena MRC. I remember seeing it last in the mid 1970’s. It was made by our hosts, Kalmbach, and was available as a loan for clubs, shows, and similar venues, for free. I believe that it proved so popular, that many copies got worn out over the years.
I too would love to get a copy on DVD.
Isn’t this the one Chooch is currently selling (and advertising) on DVD?
I wonder what has happened to the films Kalmbach used to lend back in the 1950s. I think one was called Fun With Model Trains and the other was, if memory serves, Along the Right of Way. When I was a boy our church borrowed the films for “father and son” nights. The priest at that time was an HO model railroader. Even then the films seemed old – sort of like the educational films we’d see at school – but still mesmerizing to a kid.

It’s in the current Walthers flyer.
If I’m not mistaken, that’s Ward Kimball blowing the dust off of the locomotive in the hilarious prologue. He was a great promotor of the hobby and one genuinely neat guy.
Loved the guy running under the layout. He reminds me of myself, LOL!
Who says that DC can’t be fun? [:-^]
