"Risky Business" is the movie you are thinking of. As the girls upstairs are making men out of boys, Joel retreats to his basement and plays with his trains. I believe he had a Illinois Cetral F-3. The scene is very brief but Lionels are in the movie!

I haven't seen this movie myself, but here's a picture of the scene in question. It comes from http://www.toytrainrevue.com/hollywd.htm . Accorsing to the site, items on the layout included a Pennsy EP-5, an NP U36B and a reissue of the postwar newsstand.
