Well, the title says it all I guess. Near the beginning, in the basement of the mansion Lex Luthor has inherited is a massive-looking model railroad. Of course, this is the movies, so there were a lot of tricks using forced perspective - and not just the trains (they used several scales) but also the "basement" room itself, with smaller pillars at the back and larger at the front.
A quote from Production designer Guy Hendrix Dyas:
"The model train set was like a miniature playground and my crew had a wonderful time assembling hundreds of model kits to create hyper-realistic towns and landscapes". You can read the rest of the quote here.

And if you can believe it - the whole thing was built to be destroyed!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:
Oh well - that's Hollywood!
