Toccata for Toy Trains (1957)
« on: May 10, 2026, 07:08:23 pm »
A bit ago this little 1957 Short Film YouTube link was sent to me.  I have never seen or heard of it before.  Some of you have had to seen it / know of it.  For those that haven't seen or heard of it, I hope you enjoy watching it for the first time as much as I did.

I do so love one of the trains in the opening scene during the narration... I wonder why ;-)

Tasteful tribute to toy trains!
