  • From legendary filmmaker Don Hahn and Disney Files Magazine Editor Ryan March comes “Disney Drop-In,” a Disney Vacation Club series of unscripted videos filmed in interesting Disney places with equally interesting Disney people. In this episode, Don Hahn drops in for a visit to Walt Disney’s historic railroad barn with Disney Legend Bill Farmer (voice of Goofy, Pluto and numerous other animated characters).
    Relocated from Walt’s famous home on Southern California’s Carolwood Drive and now available for tours at Los Angeles’ Griffith Park, the custom-built barn was the workshop for Walt’s miniature, backyard Carolwood Pacific Railroad (select cars from which are proudly displayed at a Disney Vacation Club Resort, presented under glass in the Carolwood Pacific Room at Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge). As many of Walt’s ideas for immersive theme park entertainment gained traction in this barn, it’s regarded by many as the birthplace of Walt Disney Imagineering.

    I knew Roger Broggie jr. He and his brother used to hang out at Walt's house and help out with the train. When I visited his workshop he showed me his father's original blueprint of the Lilly Belle. He built the replica that is in the train station at Disneyland.

    I used to go to Seymore Johnsons layout in the Montecieto hills ( his former Hope Ranch neighbors complained of locomotive noise and smoke) for the annual 4th of July meet where his wealthy friends would bring their live steam miniature locomotives to run around his estate and over those very expensive trestles providing fabulous vista views of the pacific ocean!! Ah, the good ol days!!!

    Oh man, more content like this! This was great! I had the chance to visit Walt's Barn many years ago, before they had the train car or the little station. I'm hoping to go back whenever I end up in Los Angeles again. It is a charming little place and you can't beat the tangible connections to Walt, Ward, and everyone else.

    Hey Don. Good to see you again. I was probably the only “modern day” animator into live steam. I was a member of the LA live steamers so could see the barn for free. I would sometimes spend my lunch hour there when we worked in the Disney animation “hat” building which was just across the freeway. I have a 1” scale 3-1/2” gauge 2-6-0 Mogul engine. See I can speak train. Even worked on the real trains for a while in Durango. Much more back breaking, or finger breaking in my case than being an animator.

    Love the Disney history of his love of Railroad and the importance of of the railroad to Disney...
    Too bad Disney co. does not understand its importance. The railroad is not going to be open at WDW MK for the 50th which is really sad and an insult to Walt's memory.

      No, the railroad was removed after a guest engineer went too fast, causing the locomotive to derail and end up on it's side. A little girl riding the train was slightly injured due to a sheared off boiler fitting. I believe that Walt's home no longer exists.

    Dear God💗❤️💗💕❤️❤️💞🙏in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
    I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
    You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
    Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.
