That was a good episode.  Very cool Lionel setup they had too.  :)

David,

They are talking about 

Twilight Zone: Season 2, Episode 11. The Night of the Meek (23 Dec. 1960) 

not

Twilight Zone: Season 1, Episode 13a . The Night of the Meek (20 Dec. 1985) .

Both available on YouTube. The 1985 version has no toy trains (what were they thinking?)

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the post title was being fearful of a derailment at speed. A post in a forum devoted to classic toy trains announcing a Twilight Zone episode is like something out of the Twilight Zone.

Nothing is more fairly distributed than common sense: no one thinks he needs more of it than he already has.

Stopover in a small town another ep features a Lionel HO set

 

And (before my time) Date with an Angel TV show ep features American Flyer layout

 

and of course Gomez Adams fetish for train wrecks...........

I believe the layout in the episode is the same as the Addams Family.

Good catch Jon. It also appeared in the Dudley Moore movie "Arthur."

 Arthur with Gomez's train

They seem to have added a mountain to Gomez's model railroad for this movie.

Hey, you want a classic "Twilight Zone"?  Try "He's Alive."

"He's alive because WE keep him alive!"

PS: It's got nothing to do with Christmas, toy trains, or any happy stuff.  It's creepy!
