    What an awesome story. I have been a member at LALS for a while now and am semi in shock at how much of a similar path I’m following. I remember as a kid going to LALS and wanting to join as a member, then finally in 2009 I joined. I started off with smaller locomotives and now I’m following in Walt’s footsteps building a 5” scale 7.5” gauge 2-4-4t forney. Knowing myself, I’ll probably continue to do the rest just as Walt did lol. Thank you so much for sharing. A lot of details I didn’t even know.

    One of the reasons for the Santa Fe executive names on a coulpe of the engines was because at one time, it use to be known as the Disneyland & Santa Fe Railroad.

    This is a grawesome video! I too am into model railroads, and live steam railroading action. Because of my love for steam locomotives, I thought up of a new locomotive that's exactly like a steamer, only all it needs is electricity and the power of wind! I call it a slip stream locomotive. I'm inspired by his creativity and his imagination and especially his backyard railroad and Disneyland. And especially wanting to make the world a better place with the monorail system. I love the monorail system as well. So not only do I wanna create the slip stream locomotive, but also diesel locomotives that're powered electricity and the power of wind too. They are called diesel wind electric locomotives. I especially thought up new streamliners due to my love of the streamlined era. This leads up to my vision of another Disney park I thought up which I call Disney B. Hub. B is for Boone.

    Another man that helped Disney's passion was George Allan Hancock, the savior of the shortline here in Santa Maria. In fact, when Old 21 was retired(the only Stemie ever built new for the SMV, and a Beautiful Baldwin she is), Disney came up for the final run and rode in the cab with Hancock. Disney also supposedly said that his tribute to 21 would to keep steam as the main power in the parks forever. Baldwin 21 is wrapping up a major restoration in Astoria Oregon and should be done within the year or early next year.

    Thanks for the history. I am a mild train buff married to a Disney buff--no. Disney FANATIC!! is more accurate. I mean, I had my childhood crush on Karen and Darlene, followed by utter adolescent infatuation with Annette, but I never became the fanatic my wife is. And now that we have a grandson, her fanaticism is not only relapsed, but augmented. A couple years ago, while planning a spring Disney World visit, we attended a local train show and one of the guest speakers was Michael Broggie. So we attended his lecture together, my wife motivated by love of Disney, intrigue with trains on my part. Because of that lecture, I added the roundhouse tour, Behind the Magic of our Steam Trains. Now that we're planning another WDW trip, I was thinking about taking that tour again. That's why I came to youtube, looking for any videos of that tour. Your video came up next, and I'm glad I watched it. Guess I need a trip to Disneyland to improve balance of marital interests.

The full story of Disney, his studio, his park and his railroad isn't widely known. However, since your 2013 park visit there has been two enlightening Disney documentaries produced. Another great public venue for learning the Disney story is the Disney Family Museum located in the Presidio in San Francisco. The museum is well worth a visit.

      Music? RUclips has some music on the site to use but I don't care for it. I use Smart Sound. But it's expensive! So I have usually found some way to get someone else to pay for it!! As a sound house and professor, been able to do that sometimes. Costs $50 for one cue!!! But then you own it forever, and can use it anyway you want. HOWEVER, by "shopping" their sales, I usually pay about $5 to $8 per cue buyout. By buying the whole CD, and buying 5 CDs at a time for $250. So $50 per CD with 8 to 10 cues per CD. I have about 200 cues now. Keep buying more too!

      Thanks, Toy Man. I have used "Audio Jungle" audiojungle.net/?ref=meredithmarsh&clickthrough_id=728510756&redirect_back=true
      They run about $15 to $20 for some good tracks and the site is well organized by style and period. That entitles a person to one usage with a video, however, and that sounds different than your arrangement. (My formula for fortune and fame is to loose a little money on every video, and make it up in volume. Although that may be a formula for something else.)
      We have a few good Railroads in the Bay Area including Niles Canyon, the Skunk, Roaring Camp. I'll check and see if you have already visited. Best wishes, John Cushman, Santa Rosa.

    • @ToyManTelevision
      @ToyManTelevision  7 лет назад

      I have a whole bunch of other music too but I hardly ever use it anymore. The neat thing about smart sound is that all of the cues, are pre-cut into measures so you can rearrange it almost at random and not "and it still sounds great. The newest version of the software which I can't run on my older machines you simply tell it how long you want to queue to be I said in an in and out. And it rearranges the measures to fit the available space and you now have a Music you have an exact length.
