the original “Day the Earth Stood Still”
Thanks for the video post, Rob. And, I stand corrected: I thought it was Cronyn (as ‘beep-beep-beep’), but it was Sidney Blackmer.
I like the New York apartment layout Harry Belfaonte had in ‘The World, the Flesh, and the Devil’.
Was a multi room Super O layout.
No one has mentioned the super hero film, Ant-Man! About 3/4 through, there’s a great fight/chase scene in a girl’s bedroom on a Thomas the Tank Engine set! I think it’s three rail, but I may be wrong. If you haven’t seen the film, it was much better than I expected–funny bits yet plenty of super hero action.
It was Bachmann HO as well as G scale
What I want to know is what they did with that big Thomas when the fight was over
LOL, good question!
I just assumed it ended up at the theme park in Massachusetts
Also what about Gumby Adventure Train Trouble Lionel 2035 in that
Back to the Future III
Doc builds an 1885 model train layout to demostrate to Marty how they will get back to the future. He appologizes that it isn’t to scale! lol
Addams Family. On YOUTUBE there was a “Leave it to Beaver” TV Clip where they were running some American Flyer trains.
G BEAR
Not a train, but owing to the news today, here’s the slot car track with Plasticville buildings that was set up in Wayne Manor on Batman:
Rest in Peace Adam, and we thank you!
I remember that slot car track from “Batman!” I don’t remember which episode, but I DO remember that track, it was the biggest one I’d ever seen, at least until I saw the one installed at Hiway Hobby House in Ramsey NJ a few years later. The width was just about the same but Hiway Hobby’s was a few feet longer.
Sure, this was the time the slot car craze was really taking off, just about every one had a set.
And I second that, Rest in Peace Adam, you’re the REAL Batman, just like Burt Ward was the real Robin and Alan Napier was the real Alfred. Alan was just so cool!
To say nothing of that George Barris creation being the REAL Batmobile! No Batmobile since has come close.
The ornament version plays the theme!
Thanks for those shots Becky! The Barris Batmobile just looks right, that’s why it’s timeless.
In the comic books as a child Bruce had Trains
Plasticville made road race accesssories
Saw Adam Weat WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back in 1987 at a convention talking about non batman things including a stint with James Garner
Saw a Batmobile at NY museum last year with Toy Train Collection
Also Donna Reed did a Savings Bond commercial at Christmas featuring a Lionel Train layout showing how the value of bond increases
