    BTW retrieved the meaning of word buff with internet google.
    interesting! the orijin of the word buff is very called a buffalo leather coat that N.Y. fireman wore.


    Interesting that my use of the word "buff," meaning fan or enthusiast, is last in the list of five definitions!


    While I consider myself somewhat of a train buff, I am obviously not in the really serious crowd. I'm sure the V & T is well-known among the most ardent train enthusiasts, but I had not heard of it before.


    Thanks for all the links and pictures! I will probably be a little more attentive to the trains in movies now that we've had this discussion.

    The Great Locomotive Chase a Disney classic with Fess Parker, and Jeffery Hunter. Very enjoyable movie.


    Here's an amazing coincidence which I can tell you about, thanks to H.sanada's link in this thread about steam locomotives in the movies - the same train used in The Great Locomotive Chase is the same as the one used in McLintock!


    Who'da thunk it?
