Being a big time classic movie buff, I was immediately intrigued by these when I first saw them. They're pretty big, each being three feet long. Imagine what the rest of the train must have been like! I assume that they must have been used to represent a real train. I wi***he guy knew what movie(s) they came from. I'd love to have them, but they're a bit more than I'd want to pay, considering what poor condition they're in. Now, if I recognized them as having come from a favourite movie of mine, that would change everything! You can be sure that I'd snap them up without question!

Very interesting, Sask. Looks like whoever made them was a very talented modeler. Maybe someone else will have an idea what movie they may have been used in. I'd really like to know!

That's pretty cool. These must have been used in fairly close up shots to be sized the way they are. Or perhaps were in some sort of backdrop with forced perspective.

Knowing what movie they were used in would really increase the value as well as the collector appeal. That's a neat find.
