There's a lot of O gauge in there - Kusan diesel, Lionel 2026/2016/2018/2037 with a 2466W/T tender, quite a mixture of makes, and scales, it appears.

Super O track and a silver UP Alco.

The Lehigh Valley Railroad, the Route of the Black Diamond Express, John Wilkes and Maple Leaf.

I don't see any Super O, looks like KMT/Kusan track:

And a KMT Burlington Alco:

I think the stripes under the number boards that were not painted out give it away.

Looks like a hodge podge The towers are Marx those couples SURE looked like Lionel  The Telephone Poles Marx 

 

I do remember seeing Flyer trains  in a ep

 

The other Art Clokey show Gumby Used alot of trains too Marx a Lionel 2035 HO among others

 

The short Small Planets used HO                 Gumby and Pokey take a space ship to the planetoid belt to claim a plant to live on

 The first one is inhabited by Davey's EVIL twin who uses an HO train which no on else can play with

 

The train has a missile launcher which SURPRISNGLY was not store bought (It was made when Lionel Flyer etc made those military Trains)   The train is Revell HO

The launcher was made for the short The Three color signal was in Small Planets

 

In Bellows Falls VT was able to touch a slow freight as it was moving down the track (got a pic somewhere)

COULD have boarded it since door was open on the box car        DO NOT WORRY did not

I was going to watch the video, but it looks like it's been pulled, so all I can say is...

"I don't know, Da-Veeeee..."

It's back all right, and fun seeing it again, it must be 50 years since the last time.

Can't add anything to everyone else's observations though, but thanks for posting!

They were probably worried about paying royalties to the New Haven, who were still in business at the time.

I recall a few "Chicago and Pacific" box cars on Emergency over the years.  Guess nobody wanted to pay SP either.  Wink
