I didn't catch this one in the theaters but I saw it on the late, late, late, early, early, early show some years later; <br /> <br />I'm a little vague about the details but there was a 1960s comedy titled, if I recall correctly, "Somebody-Somebody, Please Come Home" about a Jewish U2 pilot who crashes in an Arabic country and this sheik has a palace filled with Lionel - the only railroad in the country. <br /> <br />There was a series in the 70s or 80s about a transcontinental railroad built to Herr Hitler's grandious plans for the Deutches Reichsbahn - broad gauged enough for swimming pools in the club cars - steam coexisted with diesel and my interest lasted just long enough for the first diesel to pull away from the station going "Chug-a-chug-a-chug-a" before I found another channel. One of the hobby mags had an article about the technical support behind this series - believe me, the article was more interesting than the storyline of the series.
