Looking for a review of "Classic Toy Train Film"
Posted by dsmith on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 9:09 AM

Has anyone viewed "Classic Toy Train Film" produced by Vintage Goat Films? If you did, what did you think about it?   It is avalable at Amazon, here is the link:

http://www.amazon.com/Classic-toy-train-films/dp/B001TOE8AE/ref=sr_1_cc_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1297868276&sr=1-2-catcorr#productPromotions

 It is available on DVD and here is the blirb about it.

"Hop on board with Vintage Goat Films as we revisit eight toy train films. Our first and second stop are two timeless Lionel commercials. Then watch as Boy Scouts play with the Dorfan brand toy trains. On our fourth stop we see Lionel's craftsmanship in creating authentic and reliable toy trains. Demonstrating Lionel's creativity is the Lionel Cavalcade of Trains. The next stop is the Rail Road Story, which shows how a child's dreams can be lived through toy trains. You might want to stay on the train at the next stop and watch how toy trains can put you on the fast track for divorce. (After watching this commercial, you've got to wonder What were they thinking?) Finally, at the end of our ride is the Wonderful World of Trains where puppets help a child learn the joy of toy trains."

dsmith - I have VHS and DVD of most of those films in one form or another and they are all fun and a definite nostalgia kick. Several of them have been available on YouTube at one time or another - albeit in 9 minute segments. I do not know if those are considered "public domain" items or not. If not YouTube eventually gets them removed. I can recommend them.

Regards, Roy
