Mike, that was a good movie, I saw it as a kid, and I saw it a few weeks ago on one of the sattelite channels. I belive that they used Sierra R.R. number 3 for the locomotive. Mantua (TYCO) had, or still might have a model HO scale that is based on that exact loco. The detail is a bit toy-like, but that's easy to change, the biggest thing would be installing some more realistic valve gear. Also, you would want to re-motor it if you plan on operating it. As for the rest of the train, you can probably find convincing cars, caboose, etc. in a Walthers catalog. Check at your local hobby shop. <br />Hope this helps, sounds like a neat project. <br /> Todd.
