Re: Happy 100th Birthday to Ward Kimball

folks,
In the late 1990s the California State Railroad Museum put on a Walt Disney--Railfan exhibit. It Was wonderful with his own live steam back yard railroad locomotive on display. today the same locomotive is on display at the Disney Family Museum in San Francisco.

I do not recall what scale the model was built to; but it was big!
Maybe 1/5 scale.

The connection with Ward Kimball was recognized and several pictures of the two of them together were in the display.

I have seen the Grizzly Flats equipment on display at Orange Empire Railway Museum; it looks great! I hope they get the Keeler water tank finished one of these days. I was told that they plan to build some 36" gauge track so they can run the little Hawaiian plantation locomotive.
