All Trains in Walt Disney's Animated Films 1923-1966

[@johndavies9270]

One of my recently discovered favourites is 'Out of Scale' - apart from the beauty of the drawings, and the general accuracy, this was Ward Kimball and co having a gentle laugh at the hobby they shared with Walt. Walt and his back garden railroad even appeared on thew cover of a 1950's French model railroad magazine.

[@WaltsNephew]

I whole-heartedly agree with you, Out of Scale is a marvelous picture paying homage, and a quick giggle, to Walt's Carolwood Pacific. I think trains are some of the most complex and ingenious ways of expressing animation, especially when done right at the Disney Studio or by Ward

[@johndavies9270]

@@WaltsNephew A friend of mine has the magazine concerned. From memory there was quite a good photo-article on the line inside that issue.

[@WaltsNephew]

Oh yes, if you look through some railway modeling books within the last 60 years or so, the Carolwood Pacific makes quite a few appearances

[@3xfaster]

All this love for trains and we have yet to see a proper film built around the premise of trains from Disney on a whole. Like a whole feature length film.

[@WaltsNephew]

Granted there is the Great Locomotive Chase, I agree there should be another film focused on trains

[@jasobres]

Walt was a huge rail enthusiast, and he was in good company. His fellow animators Ward Kimball and Ollie Johnston were also railfans. Walt also had his own ridable backyard train that he called the Carolwood Pacific Railroad. And because of this, almost all of the Disney parks include a railroad.

[@WaltsNephew]

After the strain of near bankruptcy during the War years, Walt really needed a hobby so that he could get away from the Studio. Enter Ward offering to take Walt to the Chicago Railroad Fair, and the rest is history hahaha Just imagine if trains weren't part of Walt's life; the Parks would look very different, if they existed at all

Walt's passion for trains was indeed quite remarkable. His life was basically about railroading when you think about it. He had an uncle who was a train engineer whom he looked up to. Plus the trains and train-like rides at Disney parks make it more obvious. Truly a great celebrity railfan. One of the top reasons I admire him

[@WaltsNephew]

I completely agree with you! Of all the Foamers in the world, Walt is probably the best, followed closely by Ward Kimball haha It is my personal opinion that even though it was all started by a Mouse, it was really started by a love of trains

[@justinratcliffe947]

@@WaltsNephew That would've been awesome if you were. Guess what, 9 years ago I wrote a letter to the Walt Disney Company about an idea for an attraction. The idea was a passenger train owned by them which would've taken people on cross country trips but it would've been pulled by a steam locomotive designed to look like Casey Jr. from Dumbo, kinda like the one that looks like Thomas that the Tweetsie Railroad has. They sent me a letter back which I kept to this day. They loved my idea and were so glad to see how thoughtfully creative was. But they couldn't accept my idea due to a policy of theirs which doesn't allow them to accept ideas from non affiliates. Truth be told I wasn't expecting them to accept it but all I wanted was a reply back from them which I gladly did get. Which is why I kept their reply letter. It's a treasure to me.

As much as I wanted to see Walt try to adapt Thomas and Friends, Britt Allcroft's adaptation was much better, because everything she did on the show was very believable, from the engines and rolling stock, to the people and backgrounds; she wanted everything to be as real as possible. Besides, if Walt did adapt the Railway Series, I'm certain he'd put some cartoony elements in his adaptation, and Wilbert would never approve of it one bit.

Merry Christmas 2020 A.D., from the GB&W Live Steamers Union!! Walt,s backyard live steamer is a 4-4-0 American built in 1873 in the Sacremento Shops of the Central Pacific RR. It is built to 1:8th scale at 1&1/2" inches equals=1' foot, with 7&1/2" guage track. Walt had his backyard railroad built into the side of the hill, with a lower level. And a upper level with tunnels and bridges. But then a rain storm and landslide destroyedost of it. The loco is Number 173, and named "Lilly Belle" to honor his wife. He built the wheels in the Studio machine shop lathe with Mr. Brodie helping him, and Bob Harpur. The loco and some cars are preserved by the Los Angeles Live Steamers Club in Griffith Park, close by to the Travel town RR Museum. Also zoo and Observatory. Even more next time, Walt knows about English live steamers because his photo is holding 1860era 2-2-2 with open footplate and shiny brass dome, plus, 1950 era photo shows him in England and running 1:16th scale loco for 3/4" to 1' with 3&1/2" guage track on raised up platform. So he might know about early Thomas stories.

[@WaltsNephew]

Yeppers! The engine that set the standard for every conventional steam locomotive made after 1829

[@ThomasandfriendsRULES]

Fact: Walt's animations were amazing but he didn't pay his employees fairly I felt sorry for them and in about the 1940's they went on strike refusing to work for Walt until he pays them the amount of money they wholeheartedly deserve. I actually think Walt was half good and half bad because of that.

[@WaltsNephew]

That's more of a half fact. His viewpoint of payment rested on the amount of work and talent that went into the animation. If you were a lead doing the rough creation from your own references, you were paid well. If you were an inbetweener, inker, painter or cleanup, your animation was less because you have less strenuous work to do in your drawings. Also, if you came up with a good gag or idea for the animation, you'd get a bonus

[@kodimarto9910]

Disney and his trains. :D Disney needs to make a Disney Pixar Trains movie and a Little Engine That Could movie.

[@WaltsNephew]

I think a Pixar trains film would be GREAT. I was disappointed with Planes: Fire and Rescue where Muir was present more than once, did not say a word and who's whistle used stock audio

[@samanli-tw3id]

It won’t happen, otherwise there would be a lot of comparisons to Thomas and Friends.

[@florjanbrudar692]

Mickey's Steamroller didn't make any sense In Timber, no train was seen at all 8:02-8:06 That's a tram, not a train 10:39-11:21 Oh my god 7 policemen on a locomotive XD 15:44 Again, that's a tram

[@WaltsNephew]

Ahhhh ok, a little explanation on my part is needed haha So the steamroller, I understand (I included it because of Mickey's appearance and the fact that the animation was so great for a steam engine, even though there weren't any rails). The Handcars in timber, I would technically consider that a train, but I that could be a matter of opinion. Toady's train chase with the 7 constables is one of the BEST animated sequences to come out of the Walt Disney Studio. And the red car from "Motor Mania," I truly think trolleys and streetcars are considered trains albeit the kind that travel only on road rails and not across the country

[@florjanbrudar692]

​@@WaltsNephew Okay I didn't know about the trolleys and streetcars part but still, nobody would call handcars trains

[@SuperGibaLogan]

we need to get a crossover with the engines of the island of sodor and all these trains

[@johnsplayworld2402]

I think susie the little coupe inspired disney pixar's cars because the eyes are on the wind shield instead of the headlights

[@WaltsNephew]

Ooooo I like your thinking there. I think that since John Lasseter is such an admirer of Disney animation, he might've gotten the base idea for anthropomorphic automobiles from Susie!

[@thomastheconjunctionfriend7908]

Infact, Thomas will finally copy what Disney’s Own Sentient Locomotives did with The All Engines Go Reboot as they both did wacky stuff and Have wheels as hands and Feet.

[@TKSP4449]

What about the trains featured in live action Disney films such as _So Dear to my Heart, Pollyanna,_ or most notably _The Great Locomotive Chase?_ Or did you mainly want to focus on animated trains?

[@WaltsNephew]

The latter is true haha This is a compilation of the trains Walt personally oversaw in his animated pictures. BUT you bring up a very good point and it is something I plan on working on: showcasing Walt's live-action trains

[@KLM747_Fan]

In the early years disney turned a 4-4-0 into a 2-2-0 or a 0-4-0 tender engine i mean its good BUT sometimes disney makes A FUDGING 0-2-0 OR EVEN WORSE bEnDiNg TrAiNs

[@aldianoy.widjaja1986]

Most of the early animated trains was having 4 or 2 power wheel and no diesel

[@WaltsNephew]

Yes indeed! I believe it made it easier on the animator as well as giving the engine more character

[@redman-y1p]

The whole of Thomas The Tank Engine coming out in the late 1930s way after disney is cool

[@klipsfilmsmelbourne]

Maybe you should do british engines when they appeared in any disney films live action or animation

[@WaltsNephew]

Ooooo That's a snapping idea! Maybe I'd just do European engines to have a little more variety and substance. I'll let ya know if I decide to do that!

[@bulatao195]

Considering on how Mattel is doing to the franchise, I wish Disney would buy the rights to Thomas & Friends and hopefully can be redeemed by staying true to the original source material. In fact, look at how well Winnie the Pooh is doing.

[@WaltsNephew]

Good point! I think it would be interesting to see the Disney Co.'s take on the Railway Series. MAYBE Pixar should buy the rights and it could be their version of "Trains"

The adventures of ichabod and mr toad was released 1949 and the railway series book tank engine thomas again was also released 1949 the same year and i believe that rev w awdry watched this and was decided to make another volume of thomas's branchline and decided to create a fictional island known as the island of sodor in 1950
