I knew Roger Broggie jr. He and his brother used to hang out at Walt's house and help out with the train. When I visited his workshop he showed me his father's original blueprint of the Lilly Belle. He built the replica that is in the train station at Disneyland.
I used to go to Seymore Johnsons layout in the Montecieto hills ( his former Hope Ranch neighbors complained of locomotive noise and smoke) for the annual 4th of July meet where his wealthy friends would bring their live steam miniature locomotives to run around his estate and over those very expensive trestles providing fabulous vista views of the pacific ocean!! Ah, the good ol days!!!
It takes me back to when I was a kid in the '60s and Uncle Walt would drop by my grandpa's railroad shop where they built trains to run at that Park ...
Oh man, more content like this! This was great! I had the chance to visit Walt's Barn many years ago, before they had the train car or the little station. I'm hoping to go back whenever I end up in Los Angeles again. It is a charming little place and you can't beat the tangible connections to Walt, Ward, and everyone else.
This was great!!! It's wonderful that Walt's Trainset was saved!!! Loved all the voices Bill Farmer did in this video - it was like watching old time TV again!!!
Hey Don. Good to see you again. I was probably the only “modern day” animator into live steam. I was a member of the LA live steamers so could see the barn for free. I would sometimes spend my lunch hour there when we worked in the Disney animation “hat” building which was just across the freeway. I have a 1” scale 3-1/2” gauge 2-6-0 Mogul engine. See I can speak train. Even worked on the real trains for a while in Durango. Much more back breaking, or finger breaking in my case than being an animator.
If any of you commenters visit San Francisco, you should go visit the Walt Disney Family Museum in the city’s Presidio! It’s really cool and has so many Disney artifacts etc.
When it comes to trains, my brain restarts the knowledge all over again and that I shall never feel like I don’t know anything anymore. Walt had to have one of the greatest achievements of his life!
That fact that Walt had purchased a Great Western Engine blows my mind it would be dope to have seen him run a British Locomotive since Britian had the best Steam locomotives
Love the Disney history of his love of Railroad and the importance of of the railroad to Disney... Too bad Disney co. does not understand its importance. The railroad is not going to be open at WDW MK for the 50th which is really sad and an insult to Walt's memory. Work like a Capt, party like a pirate 🏴☠️🦜..
Love it. Hopefully when we ever make it out to California, we can visit too. So awesome learning about all the Disney history. Thanks for presenting these.
As a fan as much as my imagination enthusiasm for the mine train through nature's wonderland and rainbow Springs I know exactly how much money it would cost to bring that back it was and is a wonderful attraction and the fact that they just decided to get rid of it is very disappointing not that I mind big thunder mountain but it could have been put in a different spot in the park And you could have still kept the mine train thru nature's wonderland but the decision was made
No, the railroad was removed after a guest engineer went too fast, causing the locomotive to derail and end up on it's side. A little girl riding the train was slightly injured due to a sheared off boiler fitting. I believe that Walt's home no longer exists.

The attention to detail in the model railway/road built by the Imagineers is reflected in real life in the parks.
Make more of these please! Don is such a great host. I just love watching him.
Bill Farmer is my favorite goofy’s voice actor from the goofy movie and the rest of the modern cartoons.
It takes me back to when I was a kid in the '60s and Uncle Walt would drop by my grandpa's railroad shop where they built trains to run at that Park ...
I *ADORE* Bill Farmer.
This is awesome! A tour around Walt Disney's railroad barn with Bill Farmer?! Thanks so much! I love this tour!
It's awesome to see the face behind the voice of my beloved Goofy!

6:55 - Bill's impression of Dallas McKennon is spot on.
AWESOME TOUR! THAT'S A COOL COLLECTION OF TRAINS!
Thank you so much for the tour
I remember Sam Towler making that layout! The engine is a modified Bachmann 0-4-0 porter in On3 scale.

What a career you've had haha. That would've been awesome.
@@scottmarshall4996 actually Don was the one who I interviewed with when I applied for a job at Disney. It was a good run.
@@chrisw8417 That's great. It seems like a creative (and also challenging) place to work.
Thank you for sharing this special place. And thank you Bill for sharing Goofy with us!!!
That snore was a dead give away for Goof.
Sheldon would LOVE this!
I’m not a Disney vacation club member at all and I love these videos
cool and awesome,wow,amazing,epic,excellent,fun.
As a Huge Disney, Goofy and Railroad Fan - This was an awesome video! Happy Thursday from the Mouse Street TV People!
"Canis Goofus" - I laughed so hard at that! XD
If any of you commenters visit San Francisco, you should go visit the Walt Disney Family Museum in the city’s Presidio!

Thank you so much for your work; we appreciate it so much!

I love trains
Even when Bill speaks in his normal voice, you can still hear Goofy in there 😁
I can hear Hop Pop.
An awesome tour gentleman thank you for sharing

Wow what a great site. Thank you for the tour this is very cool.

What a fascinating visit.
Jeff Bergman = Warner Brothers
Bill Farmer = Disney

My grandma loves Goofy
Love this. I'm slightly familiar with this place. 😉

@@gilbert2795 no he's not
@@mackenziefritz5290 yeah he is look at his teeth
I was hoping to see that down!
I really need to go there.
This was so fantastic!!
no joke.. when he said 30 points to stay there, I literally started calling customer services!! Then he said J/K!! lol
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏this was amazing
When came to Bill’s voices or the fact Mister Disney himself even had a British engine
Thank you goof.
Walt Disney: Uses School bus seats
Fort Wilderness Railroad: Let me get the windows
Explained why they looked familiar, don’t think they changed much by the time I had been bussed some in the 90’s during high school.

I know Bill from the Alec-Tronic project - Epcot Innoventions.
Is that Ubert Iwerks!
That man is sure smart thank you?
Or master Yen Sid from Fantasia and Kingdom Hearts
I want to visit
lol "train"ed professional
its a shame that the english engine got damaged by the sea water on the return to the usa
and was never steamed up by Disney
Is the railroad still there at walts old house ?
No, the railroad was removed after a guest engineer went too fast, causing the locomotive to derail and end up on it's side. A little girl riding the train was slightly injured due to a sheared off boiler fitting. I believe that Walt's home no longer exists.
Goofy is a Cow. Not a Dog Not ManDog. A Cow.
Anyone else thought that was Jon Favreau in the thumbnail?
I swear I was getting a little bit of Jungle Cruise vibe here…..
