    theres at least 3 episodes with Trains- Murder On The Orient Express, The ABC murders. The Plymouth express, could it  be one of those?

    It might be Mystery of The Blue Train, and After The Funeral has Poirot being Consulted by the Solicitor on a Train.

    It seems to me that Mr. Pimenta is thinking of some movie or TV adaptation of a Poirot story that features a model train set. I don't recall Poirot ever playing with  model trains in any of the books. I also don't think that Suchet ever did Mystery of the Blue Train or After the Funeral.

    I remember watching the movie on TV and I think that went near the second world war.
    I do not remember if it was David Suchet
    ...sorry my english

    In an adaptation 4.50 from Paddington  was a model train set was used as a prop to explain how the murder was done?

    I don't think so, MissQuin. I think 4.50 from Paddington Miss Marple explains how the murder was done setting the stage on the real train and not using a model train.

    I was thinking of the Joan Hickson version of 4.50.  I remember the bad McEwan version has the denouement on the train. But I'm clutching at straws as I can't think of an adaption that uses a model train set, but there might be.

    Orient Express didn't use a train in either version.

    Sorry, I have not watched Hickson's version yet. As far as I remember, I haven't watched any adaption that used a train model set (Blue Train, After the funeral...) maybe an old one and not so popular as Hickson. Could it be an adaption from Tuppence and Tommy books?

    "Diagnosis Murder" episode, "Broadcast Blues" has a trainset - the "Doctor...   Kolkaa..." one.

     

    But is Dick Van Dyke anyone's idea of Poirot?  "Nom d'un nom d'un nom... ah would know zat sil-you-ette anywhere - Mary Poppins!"

    Hell's bells, I completely forgot!

    From the fairest-playing detective series ever (except maybe Kenneth Moore's "Father Brown"), the "Ellery Queen" episode, 'The Adventure of the Eccentric Engineer' has a train set, too!

    A couple of clips on YouTube but none that show the train in action - it has a tunnel through the walls of the engineers house and I think he puts little messages to his family on the carriages.

    I have a good feeling this is the one!
