Hello, my name is George and welcome to my YouTube channel, GFW Trains. Please take a look around and check out my videos where we, "talk about everything, but mostly trains."
In terms of videos, I try to make new videos when I can featuring all things train related, including cool layouts, intricate model trains, fascinating live steam trains, and fun LEGO trains, among other things. I also like to make railfan videos as well.

Wonderful! I still have my first Lionel train set from 1953, and it still runs great.

They saved a lot of money on film by using the same wreck sequence.

The acting in this show was off the hook great. Astin’s Gomez was a maniacal treat. No Gomez since has come close.

I didn't realize until now that they just recycled the Train Wreck footage. Growing up I thought he blew them up each time.

I built the "new" version of this silliness for The New Addams Family. We didn't have as much room, so it was merely a bent loop, some scenery, and a collapsible bridge for the crash scenes. The first time, it was a bit of a fiasco, and everyone (including the director) just looked at me - I'm in props, not directing! The pyro guys had a steel dish something that exploded with a battery charge under the bridge, and Gomez had a dummy detonator in his hand. "Okay," I finally said. "Gomez, when you see the pilot of the locomotive reach the bridge, give us a nice big twist on the detonator. Pyro, that's your cue."

my friend's kid is 5, and he's a steam locomotives fanatic. here in Albuquerque we have a freshly rebuilt 4-8-4 steam locomotive, the Santa Fe # 2926, and that kid is over the moon about that locomotive....many of us are. his mom just bought him an enormous layout for his HO set, and i just couldn't help myself, i got slightly evil and i sent his mom these Addams Family train wrecks which you so kindly posted.....

It's possible the set from the Twilight Zone was the same as some of the scenes on Addams Family, but there are some pretty big differences in others. The cut scenes with the trains headed for the camera were different from the main track, and the set used during his call to the stock broker was entirely different. Keep your eye on the tracks to see the differences.

Thank you for the montage. This got me into model railroading in the 60s.

Thanks, I had never noticed that there was ONLY one train wreck repeated. And that the "explosion", and fire, was after shots with the engines stopped with the trestle already wrecked. Which explains how they could have electric trains running in different directions on the same track. Now obviously they did not. It was all in the editing.

To quote one of John Astin's other great characters, "But I'm feeling much better now. "

The Adams Family layout is a composit film of two different layouts. One uses Super O Lionel track the other Lionel O track. The Lionel O layout had a figure 8 in the center the Super O one has no figure 8. It does appear the Twight Zone layout is the same Super O track layout.
