Railroads on Parade

[daveklepper]

Was a movie ever made of Hungeford's 1939-1940 NY World's Fair Show?

 

I must have seen about ten times as youngster, ages 7 and 8.

[henry6]

I think so. I do have the World's Fair folders for both 1939 and 1940 plus the Playbill for 1939.

[daveklepper]

Can you scan them and email them to me at [e-mail].   Or post them on this thread?

[henry6]

No.  They are bigger than my scanner could do, are 20 or so pages each, too.  I am wiling to part with them for a fair price, however.

IIRC the video "Streamliners to Yesteryear" included color footage of the train show from the world's fair, probably only about 4-5 minutes but interesting nonetheless.
