1960's Electric Disneyland Monorail Train by Schuco
Tested 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 (I highly recommend the LGB 50081 transformer available on eBay for about $80).
This train has been tested and is guaranteed to run!  This one really buzzes around the track! This is the very first generation of Schuco Disneyland Monorails, produced in 1961-62. The first generation sets came with a bright yellow plastic tray holding the train, accessories, and a generous 16 piece track layout. Yellow tray is in very good condition with only minor cracks. The monorail runs very well and paint shows a lot of wear to the front car. Includes 16 track sections; in later years Schuco scaled down its basic set to include only 12 pieces of track. Box graphics are bright; box shows some wear and repairs. All the accessories are present including the original Schuco black and red wire AND the German manual.
I have included a photocopy of the instructions and my own tip sheet for setting up your Schuco Monorail and making it run like a charm.  An amazing Disneyland model train set, still ready to ride the rails after 60 years! Item # 7633, $899

Click any image for a better view
     "Welcome aboard the Walt Disney World Railroad. We're about to take a grand circle tour of the Magic Kingdom..." Those exciting words start every Disney train fan's heart beating a little faster! This genuine piece of awning from a WDW Railroad passenger car made countless trips to Frontierland, Tomorrowland, and Main Street, U.S.A.! This 3" x 1.5" (approximate size) piece was cut from a retired section of awning (like that shown in the photo above left) and is now attached to my Certificate of Authenticity. Each piece varies slightly, and we didn't dare wash off that genuine Disney locomotive soot, so some pieces are sootier than others. An affordable way to own your little piece of Walt Disney's train legacy. Shipping is $4.95.

Christmas Parade Toy Soldier Costume Head

Above: We know this head is from the original mold (or molded off an original head) because of the exact match of the detailing
on the gold chinstrap (left) compared to the a photo of a 1970's toy soldier in the Disney Christmas Parade (right). Every kink in the "chain" matches.

A "Babes in Toyland" style head cast from the early 1960s Disneyland mold. The famous Disney marching Toy Soldiers first appeared in a Christmas parade at Disneyland around 1961 to celebrate their appearance in the Annette Funicello movie "Babes in Toyland" released that same year. Since then they have been a delightful fixture in Disneyland's and Walt Disney World's Christmas parades. The design of the costumes has changed subtly over the years. The first version of the head featured solid, painted eyes, with the performer seeing through mustache-like slits below the nose. Later versions featured eyes of mesh that allowed visibility, and the most modern version also features carefully disguised screen cutouts along the chin strap for additional vision and ventilation. Offered here is the 1960s style soldier head. He's a bit of a mystery: We know from matching the sculptural details of the chinstrap that he was made from the official Disneyland mold (or a mold created from an official Disney head). Judging from the rough finish and various crude coats of paint (his hat was originally painted blue under the red) it appears someone used him for unofficial use outside of Disneyland. The head is outfitted with a helmet liner to allow it to be worn just like his official Disney counterparts. He is one of several that came to us with no history other than being found in storage. This toy soldier costume head measures approximately 27.5" tall (same as you see at the Disney parks) and is constructed of Fiberglas and is painted crudely, with plenty of scuffs and rubbed paint as shown in the photos (click on any photo for a larger view). To be clear, I don't think this is an official Disney head but this is rare opportunity to own an exact replica Disney toy soldier costume head produced from the Disney theme park head or molds. We have several of these heads-- all in similar condition-- but the photos above are of the exact one being offered now. Instead of being priced near $10,000 as an original, this one is priced at a fraction of that as a rare replica made from the original 1960's Disneyland sculpt. One soft spot on the fiberglass, and the wire ventilation mesh forming the top of the hat has become unglued. Item # 7050, $1695

An Actual Piece of Walt Disney's First Hollywood Workshop

When Walt Disney came to Hollywood in 1923, he roomed at his uncle Robert's house at 4406 Kingswell Avenue. He built an animation stand in his uncle's garage, and worked on an animated reel of cartoon jokes which he tried to sell to the Pantages Theater Company.

The garage-turned-studio was sold in 1982 and moved to the Garden Grove Historical Society, and has been on permanent display there for the past thirty+ years, just a few miles from Disneyland.

Leading the 1982 team that purchased and moved the garage was Disney employee and fan Arthur Adler. When the garage was moved, Adler saved the small pieces of wood that splintered off the garage during dismantling. These pieces, which were too small to be used in the restoration of the garage, are now available for sale to Walt Disney fans who appreciate the significance of having a little bit of Walt's first Hollywood workshop/studio as part of their personal collection.

Authenticity: The saving of Walt Disney's garage from demolition, the moving of it to its current location, and the sale of the remnant pieces to me is documented in the Walt Disney history book, "Walt Disney's Garage of Dreams" by Arthur Adler, show at left. (The book is not included with this purchase, but is available on Amazon.) On page 41 Adler mentions that he got too old to sell the pieces himself, he sold them to me, Phil Sears. Every piece includes my Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity Certificate.

Also included is 15 page package of photocopied documentation prepared by Adler. It includes a short history of him saving the garage, a copy of a letter from the Disney Studio Archives, and some newspaper clippings. The wood itself measures approximately 1" in length. Each piece, being original, will vary of course. The book "Walt Disney's Garage of Dreams" is not included. This purchase includes the wood artifact, the Certificate of Authenticity, and Adler's 15 page photocopied history packet. Please note that the checkout system will charge $8.95 shipping but for U.S. shipments we will refund $4.00 on this lightweight item. Item # 6000, $29.95
