Nostalgia & History > Mattel Fanner 50 - what train is this?

Anyone know what railroad this was filmed on? Appears to be narrow gauge.....

Could this be the Oahu Ry. train that used to be at Travel Town in Griffith Park in Los Angeles?

The narrow gauge Oahu Railway & Land Company 2-8-0 No. 85 and its two car train is on the old Travel Town trackage in Los Angeles, Griffith Park. The locomotive ultimately went back to Hawaii, but the two coaches remain at Travel Town and can be seen here:

And the fist days of the operation here: http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?11,1174415,1174674#msg-1174674

Not sure of the railroad, or locale in the first shot.

Cheers,
Jack

The open area toward the hills is now the Los Angeles Live Steamers Facility.
It has been much enlarged since the original loop was installed in the 1950s

I don't remember the commercials, but I'll never forget my Fanner 50 or my Winhester. Could you imagine them trying to sell toy guns that actually fired hard plastic bullets today? Or even the old "Stickem' Caps? Now somebody is going to ask "What are Caps?" Geesh, I'm getting old....

The Fanner-50 and the Winchester were great for playing Cowboys & Indians but you had to have a Tommygun for playing Army when "Combat" was the hot show.

God, some of us are getting OLD!!!
