Description

In 1949, Walt Disney bought his own 1 1/2-inch scale, 7 1/4-inch gauge live-steam locomotive, the Lilly Belle. Upon completion of his backyard Carolwood Pacific Railroad, Disney invited Billy and Geraldine Jones to visit his Holmby Hills estate. Reminiscent of the ornate locomotives on which he first began his career, Jones displays a wide grin as he takes the little teakettle for a run. JON036
