Thanks for posting that, BEAUSABRE.  I forwarded the link to my two model-train railfan grandkids.

The trouble with Wallace and Gromit is that they prove that the Bear is really just a BIG KID!!!Thumbs UpThumbs UpLaughLaugh
 
This is in a similar category, and I’m surprised that Batman didn’t provide a link, as he introduced this to the Forum, several years back.
 
 
Cheers, the Bear.Smile

Wayne, I think the little ones will enjoy Pat and Stan - nothing to do with railroading (that I know of) but terminally fun. This is their first video with Stan doing the singing and Pat the dancing

I think that this is the W&G cartoon that has many clear Alfred Hitchcock tributes and references in it.
