Roy Rogers has a gun in his pocket AND he’s happy to see you...

I'm afraid the "giant people" aspect doesn't click at all for me when there's a train.

This actually looks, to me, like he's just on a Gauge III, or 3 1/2" Gauge, model.

Reminds me of the end of "North by Northwest", when the train penetrates the tunnel.
