"Buy a round of track for the boys." gets me every single time! Also noticed at the end when he shouted "Union Pacific!" hahaha that engine he was holding was a total Sante Fe Warbonnet!

[@michaelramsey82]

Yep lol... clearly there were some communication issues between the props and script departments.

[@MrKenichi22]

Interesting seeing this in Computer Colorized… I kind of agree that his set was a but excessive but it is cool to see 1950’s era Lionel Trains in their prime… it’s probably better Joe didn’t run his trains on the floor, good way to get dirt and dust in the gears of the locomotive. There you got to clean those little engines up to be fit as a fiddle.

[@gregorykayne6054]

Joe did nothing excessive! Nothing! I'll call the Railroad Board!!!!

[@jaymeade9898]

Mr. Agony was played by Arthur Q. Bryan, the voice of Elmer Fudd, Doc Gamble on radio’s Fibber McGee and Molly, and Floyd the barber on The Great Gildersleeve.

[@gregorykayne6054]

Mr. Agony is played by Arthur Q. Bryan who voiced Elmer Fudd in the Bugs Bunny cartoons. He was also a popular radio star on "The Great Gildersleeve" in the early 1940's. before TV.

Its the 6:15 time to get up. I'm done 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I have to do it now

[@michaelramsey82]

Now the thing is, if you do hook up the transformers in parallel, you have to be sure to phase them correctly, otherwise you'll get a short circuit, and... oh god. It's contagious. (I kid. I was bitten by the bug long before this whippersnapper Joe dipped his toes in the water.)

[@spockbetter]

Too good !

[@edc1967]

Can't stop myself from hearing George Jetson😜

[@Bondmanproductions]

Mrs. McDoakes' last resort. Mrs. McDoakes: Mr. Addams my husband has gone crazy would you help me get rid of his trains? Gomez: Mrs. McDoakes, it would be my pleasure!!

[@ericoxner8333]

Hard to believe I saw this on local TV stations.Back in the early 1970s.Along with macalls navy Mr Ed and a few others.

[@ericoxner326]

Yep!Right with you on that. I was a child back then .And back then you never know what you would see on local tv.I recall these shows and cartoons like Rocket Robin Hood and Shazzan in the morning.

[@CornyVR.]

I feel like we could colorize this without using A.I and instead just get 3 of the same recordings in different tints and combine them to make color just like the same way they did it back in technicolors early days.

[@michaelramsey82]

That only works if it was originally shot using three different tinted filters to separate the colors. If you take existing black and white footage, split it into different colors and combine it back together, all you get is the same black and white image you started with.

[@ericoxner326]

He had a big floor layout.It was when he had trains in the living room and red room that did it.But in real life some people havd had trains.Go through walls into and through the bathroom or closet.

[@Sinjinator]

I’m looking for that movie!

[@Alapaloozalover2000]

If I ever get a wife or a well-paying job, this would be me as a husband. Also, don’t think I wouldn’t notice it when he exclaimed “Union Pacific!” when Mr. Agony clearly pulled a Santa Fe F3 out of the box!

[@traingp7]

I wish I could laugh at this when i got a track running around my bed with a 4 unit ABBA set of Santa Fe F3's from MTH with a 9 car set of cars for it to pull. I need to grow up.

[@nativeafroeurasian]

[@thewonkyfonker]

I’d say George O’Hanlon was a different kind of special, but in a good way 😂
