Addams Family Train Wreck Scenes

[@jtkirkfan2002]

They recycled that footage of the bridge exploding in every episode and as a kid I never noticed.

[@DivaDiamondDavenportMahogany]

Except for that episode where he doesn't wreck the trains in which pusgley, is not in the mood for doing it so.

[@stewart_fisher]

if you freeze it at 1:05 at the right frame. you will notice that Morticia turns into Sam Hillard.

[@stevenmanchester2104]

Thats the problem with a clip collection like this. You start to notice these things😆

[@MultiSkyman1]

LOL thinkin the same!

[@13thBear]

I notice two things watching this compilation. 1) It's the same train wreck each time. 2) The whistle sound is exactly like the train on Petticoat Junction.

[@paulw.woodring7304]

Exactly. I caught the whistle sound effect right away. I figured out several years ago, after having been to a "whistle blow" event (hook up an adapter muffle to a city steam supply and have collectors bring in about 100 different whistles for about six hours), that the archival whistle sound used for both these scenes and for Petticoat Junction was from a Southern Pacific homemade six chime whistle. There is no mistaking it if you hear it in person. It certainly was not from any whistle used by the Sierra Railway (their number #3 served as the Hooterville Cannonball, heavily cosmetically altered). It really is a great whistle sound.

[@ZakWolf]

Yep, and I also recognized the train horn sound at 3:24 from the old Warner Bros. cartoons (I think it's a recording of a GG1 electric locomotive.)

[@KCOliver1960]

The train whistle sounding like Petticoat Junction isn't surprising. The Addams Family and Petticoat Junction were originally made by the same tv company.

[@mrsamsung8184]

You're absolutely right I just made a comment about the train footage and I heard the whistle and thought of Petticoat Junction when I heard it

[@MrKenichi22]

13thBear Yep, plus I noticed they attached the steam locomotive to a freight car without its tender.

[@TheGhost-rp3ko]

I say both John Astin & Raul Julia did a great job doing their own versions of Gomez

[@MrWatercolorguy]

Agreed!

[@Renville80]

As I understand it, in the original comics by Charles Addams, the character actually did not have a name. When the TV show was being developed, he recommended either Gomez or Repelli for the character’s name, leaving it up to John Astin to make the final decision.

[@worldsgreatestride]

I have that Addams family Super "O" layout at my house. No explosives though. It was originally built for a Twilight Zone episode in 1960 by the Lionel display department.

[@richardstrainsandmore]

No explosives? Why else would you play with trains haha! Jokes aside that’s awesome! Is that a recreation of the Super O layout? For years I wanted to build it using 027 track

[@worldsgreatestride]

@@richardstrainsandmore Yeah an exact remake. I would send you a picture of it if I had an email you want it sent to. As far as making it out of O27, it would not come out right because Super "O" is 36" diameter on center. Plus you need the 30 degree angles the switches come off at to make it work.

[@richardstrainsandmore]

Yeah in 027 it can’t be an exact duplicate piece for piece but I did assemble an 027 test on a 4x8 board once. It did fit and work but needed special track sections to be cut. Your layout wouldn’t happen to be the recreation done here is it? www.tcastation.org/info.asp?t=Trackage&colnum=10&submit=go

A few wrecked trains helped Lionel sell a few thousand. In the 60's train manufacturers were hurting for sales.

[@richardstrainsandmore]

I don’t know if Lionel sponsored the Super O layout (there’s AMT cars and older Lionel products and it’s from a Twilight Zone episode) but I’m fairly sure they had something to do with the 031 layout because there were newer trains

[@Petemonster62]

@Ralph Goober - Slot cars were very popular when you were a kid! The Sears Christmas did not have a train set in 1965, but several slot car sets. Seems most boys I knew had a train set, slot car set, or both. Marx, Lionel, & Tyco did offer combination train & slot car sets.

[@nssteampunk4865]

The steamer avoids getting wrecked every time! The diesels are the ones getting bashed all the time

[@richardstrainsandmore]

Maybe Gomez hates diesels and blows them up instead lol! Although at 1:29 there’s a wrecked Lionel 2037 steamer on its side so who knows

[@nssteampunk4865]

Then came the movie where the other steamer had a head on collision

[@richardstrainsandmore]

True, Gomez finally got his chance to blow up that steamer! I could be wrong but didn’t they use balsa wood models for that scene cause the Lionel engines wouldn’t fly apart like they wanted?

[@Nash1a]

Actually if you look really close at the last shot, the diesels aren't moving at all. The are just parked face to face when the bridge moves, the fire starts and the steam engine comes to a stop. Clever editing makes it look like they just crashed. But they are clearly stopped except for the steam engine.

[@Warholy]

Isn't it funny how they'll use the SAME EXACT crash clip from the very first episode? Seriously, always keep an eye on the background in the crash/explosion shot, and you'll spot Gomez and the School Staff Character in the background! Pretty funny and a weird recycle use of footage!

[@richardstrainsandmore]

Crazy isn’t it? Did they think no one would notice?! It gets worse when they switched to a different layout and the same Crash is still played. I even remember catching that goof when I watched the show as a kid on TV

[@Warholy]

@@richardstrainsandmore i guess they probably had a discussion on bringing the frame much closer so you wouldn't notice the background...it must cost a lot to even get that single shot! Even though it is a goof we all notice, i cant help but see it as an unintentional running gag haha

I remember watching the 1st? movie and Morticia and kids were listening to Gomez wrecking the trains. She called out every move every train made until the explotion! 🤯. It reminded me of the TV show. Anyone who watch the show and noticed details, knew it was the same wreck. People who studies explotions knows there is no such thing as identical wrecks/explotions!

[@richardstrainsandmore]

I can only presume staging multiple wreck scenes would’ve racked up production costs. Not to mention how many takes to get the the explosion and trains timed just right. They probably assumed no one would notice the recycled shot, even when they switched to a whole different train layout

I still have the same 275 watt transformer that was used in the show

[@richardstrainsandmore]

You mean the 275 watt ZW? The best transformer Lionel ever made, I just wish they’d put a better circuit breaker in it

[@danielfish574]

RichardsTrainsAndMore yes

[@danielfish574]

RichardsTrainsAndMore yes that is the one. You may be able to get a better aftermarket breaker for it.

[@richardstrainsandmore]

You’re right you can add an external circuit breaker to it. Should’ve done that before I fried my Lion Chef engine, oops!

[@worldsgreatestride]

Nothing is wrong with the breaker. That built-in breaker was implemented to protect the transformer not the trains. However to get it to respond faster you need to use a heavy #14 copper wire loop under your layout with often #18 gauge drops to the track to cut the resistance out of the formula. The built-in breaker has to be 13 amp to handle the 275 watts. Most of the time a derailment will not draw 13 amps, hence it will not blow or not blow until an enormous amount of time lapses, by then something is melting or smoking. You should be using supplementary Lionel #91 circuit breakers for each leg of the ZW; A, B, C, D. Those work ideal and do not have the thermal delay of the built-in ZW type. They will trip at a blink of a eye flawlessly and are adjustable from 1 to 6 amps. Lionel intended you to use these as a supplement to your ZW. If you chose not to, you are going to get smoke when you get a short circuit or derailment.

Some familiar train sound effects here; I recognized the steam locomotive whistle from "Petticoat Junction" in the second clip, and I also heard the GG1 horn from the old Looney Tunes cartoons! (such as at 3:24) And of course that stock explosion sound effect that the old MGM, Warner Bros. and Hanna-Barbera cartoons used.

[@richardstrainsandmore]

Good catch! I never realized that’s the same whistle as the Hooterville Cannonball. Sort of bizarre since Addams Family was on ABC networks and Petticoat Junction was CBS

[@ZakWolf]

@@richardstrainsandmore Yep, I know the Cannonball's whistle is on the Hanna-Barbera Sound Effects Library from Sound Ideas, along with that explosion sound.

[@richardstrainsandmore]

Well now that’s interesting. Was the whistle and explosion sound effects ever used elsewhere?

@@richardstrainsandmore I know some of Hanna-Barbera's cartoons used them.

[@punkrockpub]

If you'll note in the episode where Uncle Fester is powering the layout. At the beginning of the skit, you may note that the crossing gate arm is almost at the edge of the board. A considerable distance from the train track. That is a detail that I would correct on my version of the season two layout.

[@richardstrainsandmore]

I’m sure the set designers had practically zero knowledge on model railroading but that’s a good catch. It looks to be a plasticville non operating crossing gate

[@nx9100]

Gotta love how he pulls the ZW handles to "switch tracks". Or pulling back to speed up when that would normally slow down. ZW's are the best! Using mine to power tmcc.

[@richardstrainsandmore]

That goof always bugged me cause moving the ZW handles like that only slows down one train and speeds up another. It won’t switch tracks! Oh well it’s only a TV show. I’ve got 2 ZWs myself and both are powerhouses with postwar equipment

[@charlieharper886]

I remember reading somewhere that in the original script for the 1990 movie, the trains were going to be a bigger part of the movie and there were a lot more crashes planned. The problem they eventually ran into was that the Lionel trains were so tough, they couldn't really damage them. They would derail, but that was about it. In the one crash they actually did shoot for the movie, they ended up making "look alikes" of the engines they were using out of lead and other soft materials and basically catapulting them into one another so they would crush and buckle during the collision, on top of filling them with mini pyrotechnics to make them explode. I guess it ended up being more of a job than they figured on, so they only did one. Now Lionel trains are junk made in China like everything else.

Best Adam train crashes ever ! ♦️🌊🐺♦️😎

[@lucase.garcia8026]

I'd come as a big guy looking forward to the derailment scenes... and it turns out to be the same recycled one every time. OUCH in childhood. At least later movies honored the train layout.

My favorite part for watching the Adam's Family when I was a kid - Hey, reminds me of my last girl friend! TW!

I simply adore carolyn Jones, loved her in house of wax with Vincent price.

The same footage of the wreck every shot. I noticed that back on the first run on t.v. and still don't like that the studio was that cheap to wreck the trains only once.

I’m thinking they assumed very few viewers would catch the recycled shot of the trains blowing up. Yet it’s extremely obvious that’s the exact same clip and it got worse when they’re using clips of 2 different train layouts

It's like watching Biden manage the Country...only not as much fun...

8:35 - He wants to make a real train wreck. The guy he's talking to has a funny reaction.
