They found it ... The Original Supertrain model discovered in a barn

On our list of amazing finds, this one is towards the top of the list. While picking arcade machines out of an old chicken house, we came across the actual train from the 1979 Television show “Supertrain”.

Supertrain was one of the most expensive sci-fi flops ever produced. NBC spent millions, only for the show the canceled after a few episodes.

It had been sold by NBC to a model train manufacturer in Philadelphia that had tried to sell it in the early 80s and when that company went bankrupt the train was abandoned in its old headquarters.

Some time later a cabinet maker bought the contents of the building and sold the train to the guy we bought it from. It had been stored for almost 20 years in the top of a barn until today!
