Came across this commercial for an online game, apparently filmed at a railroad museum. I do not recognize the museum. Anyone?

Looks like Travel Town.

Yeah definately travel town in griffith park, California. Been there lots of times, they are starting to be more of a museum then a place for kids to play.

Also seen that commercial along with my brother, who did played that game. It also reminds me of Travel Town, although I never been there, but seen it briefly from a field trip.

Travel Town, there is a brief view of Pacific Electric 1544.

I think the PE car is 1543, the "Green Blimp" which (last time I looked) was half MTA green and half PE red. It is one of five survivors from the 1911 group of cars that SP bought from ACF for its Oakland-Alameda-Berkeley lines.

Both Bob and Richard are right. You can see the green end of PE 1543 and then get a very brief glimpse of the PE 1544 locomotive as the kids are running by. Good eye Richard, I didn't see the locomotive until you pointed it out. Nice to see them both under cover.

Yes I was talking about the locomotive 1544, have photos of me in the mid 60's on this locomotive when I was about 6 years old.
