This was made by Modernist couple extraordinare of Ray and Charles Eames and is a fabulous piece of film making. Some neat Gauge 1 pieces in here.
This was made in the late 1950’s, I shudder to think how valuable this collection would be today.
Victor,
An excellent find. What fun 
Ralph
Great find Victor. What a collection they had, and all the animation they achieved.
Very nice. Incredible and done with 1950’s technology!!!

Saw it in a film class back in the day. And their chairs ain’t bad either, even to this day.
As I watched this Joe, I was wondering if these were same Eames that made the chairs,
names sounded right… Their chairs brought them fame, and fortune I guess, but I never
knew they were into trains too… Great find Victor…
Paul R…
Paul, they are one and the same, a husband and wife team (Ray is actually a she), who did a whole bunch of things. Of interest to the Buffalo gang, Charles also collaborated with the Saarinens (brothers?) in designing Kleinhans Music Hall, the concert hall in this fair city.
