found some pics, for those going, try to count the different manufacturers before and while Luthor is going Gomez on it[:p]




Apparently it goes from HO at the rear to to O in the middle to G at the front, using a forced perspective to make this huge layout look even bigger!

Well, that still won't convince me to go to the movies! Might see it when I can do so for freebies here at home if the mood strikes me at the time, but Hollywood can go broke for all I care; seems to me that most of those folk are morally corrupt anyhow!

Superman Returns...Lex Luthor has the BEST LS train layout...
Posted by vsmith on Thursday, June 29, 2006 9:41 AM
..I have ever seen IN A MOVIE![;)]

Went to see Superman Returns last night, Kevin Spacey has what has to be the best model train layouts I've ever seen in a movie![:D]

Its purely a prop, but its large scale, O and G scales, and it freakin' HUGE, complete with model Zeppelins circling overhead[:0]

I saw LGB, Aristo, and USA trains in G, MTH, Lionel in O sure was other stuff but I was too busy drooling to notice. [:p]

I say its definelty a prop, more like a stunt prop because what happens to it...Oh the Humanity[}:)]

...no spoilers here, but it would make Gomez Addams blush[:I]
