I thought we weren't doing this.

Is that what happened to the missing cars from the TeleVison show SuperTrain?

I believe one surviving train set was offered up for sale not that long ago. I would suspect the set seen here was built for the crash scene..........

Two trains were built for the series. A large model built for wide shots out in the desert shown above which was destroyed in an accident (again above) which occured when the radio control system failed and it went off the end of its stage track. This did enough damage to the large model that the show was cancelled before repairs were made and it was scrapped.

A smaller train for miniature set work survived and ended up at AHM model trains headquarters in Philadelphia where it was put up for sale with no takers. After AHM went belly up it somehow found its way into the top of a barn in rural Pennsylvania where it found over a year ago by a company of pickers who sold it to a private collector shortly thereafter.

I know it's silly, but I just ran into the story of the discovery.

And the purchaser (shop owner) at the time was not too far from me, in Hagerstown, Md.! That was the biggest surprise in the story.
