Advice on Disney HO Train Set.
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, September 16, 2003 3:04 PM
Took my 3 year old to the New Mexico State Fair yesterday and he was totally mezmorized by the exhibition from the NM Rail Runners. He has always loved trains (especially Casey Jr. from Dumbo). I was hoping to combine both loves (Disney & Trains) and build him a Disney model train set. I found a couple of Disney HO train sets. It looks like the train that carries you around Disneyland. Has anyone have any experience with this set? If not this set, any recommendations?
I would like to build a replica of Disneyland with working train. Any replies would be greatfully appreciated.

For info on D-land, Go to www.yesterland.com it is the best source for Disneyland thru the years. It includes info on all the rides that have been torn out over the years and on all the history of the park. There should be info on the trains and a lot on the history of the monorails, the real cool old ones, not the bus-on-one-rail they have now.

   Have fun with your trains
