If you don’t like the loud paint job, it can easily be painted over and weathered to represent a more heavily worked train. The train is prototypical enough that it won’t sit on the shelf after its new owners become more advanced in the hobby. This item: Walt Disney Treasures - Disneyland USA DVD by Walt Disney DVD 64.95 Walt Disney Treasures - Disneyland - Secrets, Stories & Magic (Collector's Tin) DVD by Milt Albright DVD 196.58 Your Host, Walt Disney: TV Memories, 1956-1965 (Walt Disney Treasures) by Walt Disney DVD 135. When all is assembled, the engine takes its train smoothly down the track. The track supplied is just enough to get the train around the tree, but not much more. Hooking the system up is easy with LGB’s push-button wire terminals. The second is a speed controller with a center-off dial-turn it one way for forward and the other for reverse. The first is a transformer that puts out 1.4 amps at 20V DC. Performance is all we’ve come to expect from LGB. The paintwork is somewhat garish, but I suppose that’s to be expected. They have roofs and come with two different numbers, a nice touch. The coaches are similar to converted gondola cars used on many tourist lines. The engine is painted to resemble the Fred Gurley, a Forney engine named after Walt Disney’s friend, running on the railroad in Anaheim. This locomotive has the usual LGB amenities, including power-control switches inside the cab, a decoder already installed for LGB’s Multi-Train System (MTS), directional lighting, power-takeoff outlet, smoke generator in the stack, and sound readiness. The set is supplied with a separate instruction book for the engine. The locomotive is LGB’s standard Forney (a meter-gauge representation of the Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes 2′-gauge engine). It is painted up for the Disneyland Railroad, with a (mostly) green locomotive and two red, white, and brown coaches. Walt Disney would not be happy with this design if he was still living though.As starter sets go, this is a nice one. This is due to Hong Kong's strict standards regarding emissions, as well as a cost-cutting measure to avoid having new steam locomotives built, or finding and shipping suitable narrow guage steam locomotives. They run on diesel fuel while typical steam audio (chuffing, steam whistle, etc.) are emitted from speakers. The tenders are the real locomotives that haul the trains.
