1960's Electric Disneyland Monorail Train by Schuco
Test and Guaranteed to Run!

(Most photos clickable for a larger view)
The finest Disneyland toy ever produced! Beginning in 1961 the Schuco company manufactured this precision-made electric monorail train to the highest German standards. Almost 15" long, these ELEVATED trains were produced for only a few short years and then production  closed forever. The finely crafted train was expensive by 1960’s standards and few could afford them. Not the cheap battery-operated "kids" monorails produced by Disney recently, but 18 volt DC powered electric train sets with variable speed in forward and reverse, with metal trim (just the way Imagineer Bob Gurr designed the full size originals)!  A transformer was not included with these sets (!) but the trains will run from any standard American 12 to 20 volt electric train transformer.  

The train has been tested and runs beautifully!  The brass track is super clean and exhibits very little use.  ALL parts are present and are original except for the newer transformer wires. The monorail has completely tuned-up: It's been cleaned, oiled, and greased and new wheels have been installed.  Paint on train shows some wear; box lid shows wear and tear but bright graphics; cardboard missing from the bottom of the box has been repaired. 

Complete setup instructions and background information provided as a bonus by Phil Sears Collectibles.  An amazing Disneyland model train set!  Still ready to ride the rails after 50 years!  Item # 5635, $849

Special U.S. shipping charge on this item $19.95.  Foreign shipping $49.95.  Automatic checkout will not calculate foreign shipping accurately.  After you place your order we will email foreign customers for additional shipping payment.

Own a Piece of Walt Disney’s Backyard Railroad- 
The Carolwood Pacific!
It's no secret that Walt Disney loved trains! From 1950 to 1953 Walt Disney operated a miniature live-steam train on the property of his home on Carolwood Drive near Beverly Hills.  He called his railroad the Carolwood Pacific, and named its engine Lilly Belle in honor of his wife Lillian.  Disney’s family, celebrities and neighborhood children alike road the rails with Walt on the track that crisscrossed his backyard and circled his house.  But after only a few short years, Walt turned his attention to a larger railroad- the one that would circle Disneyland- and the Carolwood Pacific made its last run in 1953.  In 1968 Lillian Disney donated the aluminum track to the Los Angeles Live Steamers organization for use at their Griffith Park layout.  There it formed "the Disney loop" until the 1990’s when it was replaced with steel rail.  With assistance from Michael Broggie (whose father helped build Walt’s backyard railroad), Carolwood Pacific Historical Society member Terry S. Lynn purchased a number of sections of the Walt Disney track from L.A. Live Steamers.  Here I'm pleased to offer a section of Walt Disney's track, mounted to an 8.5" X 11" descriptive card.  Each section of track is approximately 1 1/2 inches long, and each exhibits its own wear pattern, so the weathering will differ from the one shown.  Included is the Phil Sears Collectibles Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity Certificate.  A very special display piece for any Disney or train enthusiast.  Makes a great Disney gift!  Item # 2309, $99

The Ward Kimball Collection

Ward k08.jpg (55354 bytes) Ward k02.jpg (107166 bytes)
Above:  Ward Kimball with Walt Disney "Ward Kimball, bottom row 2nd from right with the other eight "Walt's 9 Old Men." Kimball was the only Disney employee Walt Disney called a "genius.

Of the more than one thousand artists who worked for Walt Disney over the years, he only ever referred to one as a "genius."  That was the colorful, eccentric, inventive Ward Kimball.  Ward Kimball started with Disney as an artist in the 1930's and continued into the 1980's as a consultant.  While his achievements are many, he is popularly known for creating Jiminy Cricket's unmistakable look and being one of Walt's "9 Old Men-" the handful of artists whom Walt considered his most talented and valuable.  Kimball also directed Oscar-winning Disney shorts, and continuing on through the 1980's as a consultant on Walt Disney World.  

Ward was instrumental in encouraging Walt Disney's love of trains (Kimball ran a full size narrow gauge steam engine in his back yard) and Ward is the only non-family member to vacation alone with Walt Disney; the two train lovers went to a railroad exposition, of course.  Disneyland has named it's newest locomotive after Kimball.  Many of the items offered below reflect Ward's lifelong love of trains.

Kimball passed away in 2002, and several years later the bulk of his toy and train collection was auctioned, selling for more than $6 million dollars!  More recently his wife Betty has been selling the last of his personal collection.  Here we are pleased to present these exceptionally rare items from Ward Kimball's famed San Gabriel, CA home.  A small piece of Walt Disney - Ward Kimball legacy can be part of your home for a very reasonable price.   Included with every item on this page is the Phil Sears Collectibles Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity stating the item was personally owned by Ward Kimball.  Also included is a photocopy of paperwork from Kimball's wife relating to the item.  This may be your only remaining opportunity to own a personal item from the collection of Disney legend Ward Kimball!
