Iron donkey?Hot lead and cold feet.
Posted by Thomas 9011 on Sunday, July 25, 2010 12:43 AM

Many of you have probably seen the Walt disney movie "Hot lead and cold feet".In that movie there is race between two brothers using two steam locomotives called "Iron donkeys".I was wondering if these locomotives were just made for the movie or if they were actually used on a railroad.I could not find a single photo of these locomotives anywhere on the internet or any information about them.I read that both locomotives have been preserved and are both at Disneyland in California on static display.There is a few seconds of one of the locomotives found on this video starting at .15 seconds.Any information would be helpful.
