Imagination Station Kids On Track
HI folks,
Imagination Station Kids On Track has completed a 5 year project to rebuild a Disney coach to resemble Walt Disney''s Lilly Bell passenger car.
This car has been revised somewhat and will be run by kids and families on our Disneyland train.
Now, before all the rivet counters come to life, let me say this;
This car was put together by 6 adults and 9 kids as a project to compliment the custom built Disneyland Railroad LGB 2-6-0 (Bobby Driscoll) with Barry''s Big Trains custom drive in it, which is proudly displayed in another post on this site. So the car isn't exact.
The locomotive does not resemble an actual Disney engine but takes on several features displayed on various Disneyland Railroad locomotives.
The Lilly Bell passenger car is very close to correct except for the green handrails, red deck, windows at the end of the car and the short LGB body length.
We wanted a train with Walt''s car at the end but LGB just didn't manufacturer their Lilly Belle with hardly any correct features.
Tremendous amounts of donated time and finances were applied by volunteers and the results were stunning.
We were going to paint the handrails green as seen in the photos of the prototype but the car looked so gorgeous with gold handrails that the decision was made to leave it that way.
We added working lanterns, imitation curtains, metal painted wheels and trucks and many other features. We believe that this car will make a very unique and special addition to our 10 car Disneyland train which will be pulled by the Bobby Driscoll locomotive (as pictured) or possibly the Lilly Belle 4-4-0 (as pictured) or our LGB Fred Gurley.
We just thought you guys might enjoy the handiwork and appearance of this passenger car and share it with your kids and family.
All the best from everyone at;
