"The Small-Scale Fascination That Led to a Full-Scale Kingdom." When Disney Legend Ward Kimball, one of Walt's Nine Old Men, invited his boss to a "steam-up" party at his local Live Steamers club in 1945 to be the guest engineer of their coal-burning 1881 Baldwin "Mogul", he wouldn't imagine that the friendly gesture would eventually culminate with the creation of Disneyland. "I'm sure that I never saw him smile any wider than that evening..." Ward recalls in the book's introduction, reminiscing on the party that started Walt Disney's love for trains, which eventually turned into the spark of the creation of Disneyland and the Disney Theme parks phenomenon. The captivating story of Walt's fascination with trains is told in the wondrous book by Michael Broggie entitled Walt's Disney Railroad Story, featured in this lot.
