I am a huge train fan (more so then a car fan). What I want to know is, can any of you think of movies that have trains casted in major roles? I know there is the Silver Streak, but can you guys think of any others? I can not tell you how much I live for trains, I mean they are so forgotton and in America, it is safe to say they brought America to a whole by making trans-continental transport possible, and remote states like Alaska may never have formed without rails. Also, I'm a big Lionel fanatic (the best companies in my opinion are: Ford, Lionel and Microsoft), I have small layout in a "L" shape with three main sets of trains (excluding my large variaty of odds and ends), a 2003 Lionel Pennsylvania Railroad Flyer freight engine (a 4-4-2 steam engine, a Pennsy gondola, box car and caboose), a 2003 lionel New York Central Railway Limited passenger train (powered by a F7 diesel hauling two passenger cars and an observation car) and a 1997 Lionel Santa Fe Freight Express (a 4-4-2 steam, a Santa Fe duel-door boxcar, operating log carrier, a piggy-back flat car with a Sante Fe trailer, a open auto-carrier with two cars and a illuminated Santa Fe caboose). I use two old Lionel basic controllers and a Mini-Z. I plan to get a NYC Hudson, more accessories and a TrainMaster Command Controlle unitand light-duty system.
