Hello My Friends
This my all time favorite Our Gang movie. There was a Our Gang marathon on the TV a while back and they showed this video. The people that made this were very familiar with railroad practice. There are signals, a station, and they even hoop up orders. It looks like most of the running gear was old Model T parts wheels and axles and such. Thanks for posting the link.

Jim, Thanks for the video. It was a nice way to start the morning. I had never seen this one, and I grew up watching the Rascals and 'Stooges on Saturday mornings.

Thanks Vic

I'm going to suggest we use this film for safety training at my club. I'm sure I recognized some of our members in it.

Hi TSPH,

I`m in the shop for minor repairs and stuff like this keeps me laughing.I suppose we will hear from the fella about the type of music that they are playing.

We are a trifle short of coal this year. Please can someone send two trained cata and one trained dog immediately. Send via parcel post to Richmond Hill Live steamers, Always in the forefront of new technology, skilled in running our trains in new and exciting ways., never a group who dog it or pussyfoot around. This response is totally unauthorised by any sane members. Still howling laughing David Powell.

Oh that was FUN!! I too grew up on the Little Rascals and Our Gang shorts, but I'd never seen that one before. I posted it to my favorite Livesteamer's outfit, and it was very well recieved...thanks, Jim!
