Lou: Good photos there particularly of Bill and Don. I will see Don on Monday and talk about the photos. He once told me that they had an inside the store, layout, much like the old days when trains were a really big thing at Christmas and a big source of seasonal income during the Holidays. Sure wish Bill was still around that I could needle him about his "movie star" status. Any chance of getting copies of those photos? And their locomotive engineer's uniforms are priceless!
I also heard that the movie was considered a "flop" when it first came out. It had been produced on a limited budget but didn't start making money until some years after it's first release. Now, I'm sure the residuals are making a lot of people pretty wealthy.
