Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: London - Paris By Model. DESCRIPTION: The latest variation on the model-train-for-Christmas - a fascinating model of the Channel Tunnel, on show in a toy shop in Paris. A super-streamlines road-and-rail layout, dominated by a modern terminal building. Here you drive on to the train and drive off when you get there.
