In his own words, Walt Disney's favorite part of the Disneyland Railroad was this "combine" coach. Join Once Upon a Train as we reveal how Walt's childhood influenced the creation of this car, see it prominently featured at Disneyland, learn how it was forgotten for almost 40 years, and discover its ultimate restoration and preservation.
We've got a clean stack and clear track. All aboard!

I just wanted to give a plug for the Walt Disney Family Museum. It is really excellent. It isn't just a collection of artifacts, although it does have many. It is very "alive" in how the entire history of Walt Disney and the many projects are presented. It does justice to, well, Walt Disney. So, it has to be good. And if you grew up with Walt Disney's work as part of your life, it is triple excellent.

I couldn’t agree with you more!

At 4:27 we see Art Linkletter with the microphone. I heard him speak at a Bakersfield Business and Finance Conference many years ago and he discussed his close friendship with Walt Disney. Disney had driven him out to the area where he planned to build Disneyland. Art told him it was too far away from the population and would never work and did not want to invest in it. But if it did get built, he asked if he could he have the Kodak franchise for the first year. Of course, Art Linkletter was rather wrong about Disneyland, but was very successful with the Kodak franchise.

Another great video. Years ago you facilitated a tour of the barn and in process renovation of the combine for my wife and I. Never forgot that moment. Many thanks!

Hey, Tom, great to hear from you!

Hello Michael! I started watching your videos because I volunteer at Carolwood and want to learn more information to share with visitors. I only recently learned from another video about your involvement with the organization.Funnily enough, I am pictured to the left in your picture of the volunteers! I definitely had a fangirl moment. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and all the work you have done for Carolwood. I would love to meet you if you are ever around the barn again. Please stop by and say hi!

Thank you so much for your comment and -- even more so -- for your volunteer service to the Carolwood Foundation. One of our upcoming episodes is all about Walt Disney's Carolwood Barn and I intend to film it all on location. I'll let Doug know in advance and I hope to meet you in person then.

Great stuff, Michael! And thank you for showing my combine artwork.

@onceuponatrain 7 месяцев назад

Happy to do so, Dave! It’s beautiful and it was very kind of you to create it for the fundraiser.

It’s funny, I watch both of your guys channels. Thank you Michael for put some of the pieces together for me. Dave, I’ve got to surf back to your channel.

The baggage compartment didn't have to be non-revenue generating. Some railroads (e.g., the East Broad Top RR in Rockhill Furnace, PA) put benches there. With the baggage doors open (and safety railings in place) you get a good ride & view out.

Fantastic! The details of the combine are fascinating, and I learned some nuggets that I didn’t know about. I had never considered that a portion of the car generated no revenue. Seeing the archival videos and behind the scenes photos really make these videos special.

Next episode should be on walt's GWR King class locomotive thst he purchased in the UK that started his relations with Harper Goff

@onceuponatrain 6 месяцев назад

As it happens, we will discuss the GWR engine in our upcoming episode about Walt Disney's Carolwood Barn!

@yeoldeseawitch 6 месяцев назад

@@onceuponatrain Awesome! I really hope something is brought up about the real GWR 6000 because that is one of my favorite british locomotives

@onceuponatrain 6 месяцев назад

I can assure you that it will be mentioned. In 2015, I was contacted by the editor of Swindon Heritage, named after the town where the 6000 was built and was displayed after retirement. We exchanged several messages about the King George V appearing at the Chicago Rail Fair -- it didn't -- but I learned a lot about Swindon's heritage in our ensuing conversation. I'd be happy to give them a shout-out as they promoted the Barn in the "Swindon 175" edition of that magazine.
