The following is a 1964 advertisement for Waddingtons Wild West-themed board game called ‘Railroader’. The winner of the game is the first to build a railroad from Junction City to Buffalo Creek.  There is a POV shot from an old steam train’s perspective as it goes over a wooden bridge above a canyon.  A narrator speaks with a southern US accent throughout and repeats the board game’s name during the advert, in addition to calling it “dynamite” and describing the aim of the game, along with the Wild West theme. The railroader box is then superimposed over a shot of the steam train. Animated text (“Railroader”) zooms towards the camera as the train rolls over the low-angle camera on the tracks. From the train’s POV once again, the locomotive crashes through a wooden barrier on the tracks. There are animated shots of the game’s board: train tracks begin to cover the board and then miniature trains travel along them quickly. The actor who has been voicing the advert since the beginning is then shown in Wild West-themed clothes playing the board game. The camera zooms into his face and he says “Railroader! He he!!”. This is then followed by more shots of the steam train. The final shot is of the board game’s box superimposed over a shot of the train.
