Incidentally, the trains in the movie were provided by Don Spiedel, a former TCA National President, and Bill Cus, another Cleveland TCA pal who passed away last year. The movie's director and others in charge were not fussy about historical accuracy. The steam engines and trains are post war and would not have been made when the setting of the movie took place in 1940. The purpose of the movie was to entertain; not be a historical piece on Lionel trains.

Paul,
Don't forget Ted Nyerges, without whose interaction with the movie folks, we wouldn't have had this opportunity. I finally have some pix to add of the inside layout, the one I previously mentioned that was not used in the movie.
