Exploring the charming nooks and crannies of Grizzly Flats Station, feeling as though I'd traveled back in time. Watch for special appearances by Rebecca Rees, Brian McEntee and Chuck Richardson!
In 1942 legendary Disney animator Ward Kimball (one of Walt's renowned '9 Old Men') unveiled the first full-size backyard railway in the United States. In the late 1980s I was among the lucky invitees to one of his "Train Days", when he got the ol' steam engine rollin' and gave rides to family and friends! I took videos. Here's an excerpt from the ancient VHS tape. Sorry for the occasional wobbles and snow.
I'll post more chapters later on. All aboard!
