Reply to "Guide to the Addams Family Super O Layout"

A few comments for those interested in recreating the Super O layout: there are different scenes that show different numbers of AMT aluminum passenger cars used (the main collision/bridge blowing scene involves a 2349 M&STL GP-9 and a chicken sweeper car plowing into a Santa Fe F-3 pulling a lone AMT Santa Fe aluminum vista dome car (an early shot shows what looks like 3 AMT coaches coupled to the F unit back from the blown up bridge, no dome car to be seen). I've noted AMT coaches, an RPO and a dome car used in different episodes. You can tell Lionel didn't provide the trains by the use of the AMT passenger cars. 

In one episode there's a shot of the F unit with a RPO car and the vista dome being chased by the M&STL Geep pulling a lone coach. The shell and chassis on the F unit is blackened from being in the explosions and the oval portion of the logo was removed or painted over.  The steam engine pulling a train on the outermost loop is usually seen not pulling a tender, but the episode where Pugsley is in the Boy Scouts shows the 2-6-4 pulling a 2046 type tender and a couple cars The ZW has a toggle switch on top of the casing - it's also on the ZW seen in the Twilight Zone/Art Carney as Santa episode - you can see Art/Santa flip the switch before running the trains.

The 0-27 sets on the second layout never get blown up - they reused the explosion/crash scenes from the Super-O layout.
