One can go to Steamtown National Historic Park in Scranton PA.several differing times, even differing years and MAY NOT See the same loco twice. OR may only see ONE steamer up to steam. They have 3 steam locos in various stages of operating capacity, and a 4th they are going to start working on to get to running capacity. It also depends on which is running the best when they have two capable of running.
SO it is with TV trains.
I always check the number of the loco on the number plate or number board on TV trains, even if I can't read the name insignia on the side.
Sometimes they have the same number loco for every train scene within a shows runnigs, others, differing numbers, and some they change numbers {rare granted} within one "train ride".
When they {TV shows} transport and locate to a train station/area for a scene/scenes, they may not always get to be choosers as to which train is running, especially amongst the Historical steam trains.

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
Ahhh, Did I just have a mental reset, & a De ja Vu, or did this thread go all Hollywood & reload elsewhere, & start all over again? What the frack happened????I thought I was talking in this one? >was I not?http://cs.trains.com/TRCCS/forums/t/204738.aspx

That's like HItchock's classic film NORTH BY NORTHWEST, where some of the films action takes place on New York Central's New York to Chicago "20th Century Limited". At the end of the movie, when Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint are traveling BACK to New York, they're suddenly on Southern Pacific's "San Joaquin Daylight.," LOL!

When watching a recent rerun of "The Rifleman", Mark and Lucas McCain are riding the first train into North Fork. In the early scenes, they are riding a train marked for the MK&TRR (Missouri Kansas and Texas). When the train leaves town, it's lettered for the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe. Reminds me of the "Six Million Dollar Man" and Steve Austin would be seen taking off in one fighter, flying another and landing in another.
Somehow this thread appeared twice. I'm locking this one since the other one has more replies.
