Tom, Thanks for getting Reg's spelling correct--it taken me years to
get Loizeau correct! The film I saw was shown at the long-ago
Sacramento convention. I somehow obtained a very grainy dupe of it. I
remember the camera on the flat car pivoting to change the view, and yes
it was film and camera that is large compared to today's stuff. I
remember the overhead belt drive in the machine shop, the piano player
in the dance hall not to mention the roof itself being motorized. I
think we were most impressed with the Shay (before PBL) pulling log
cars. I don't recall much about his scenery however.
