All aboard... for awesome! An authentic
Disneyland Railroad sign from the Happiest Place on Earth!
This large, striking, steel sign features Sleeping Beauty castle
under the famous and evocative DISNEYLAND logotype. The sign
offered here-
a genuine sign used at Disneyland-
is the type used on the Disneyland rolling stock called
"Holiday Red." The Disneyland Railroad had four "sets" of
passenger cars. Depending on which train pulled into the
station (the Excursion train, Holiday Green, Holiday Blue, or
Holiday Red) you board front-facing excursion cars, side-facing
gondola cars, or-- back in the day-- a combination of gondola and cattle cars trailed by
a caboose. The Disneyland Railroad sign offered here is type
of sign is seen on the latter combination of train cars, Holiday
Red. This
style of sign is still featured on the caboose today!
Holiday Red consisted of four gondola cars, three cattle cars, and the caboose, and all but two cars of Holiday Red were put into service for Disneyland's opening day, July 17, 1955. At that time this combination of rolling stock was known as Retlaw 2 (Walter spelled backwards), since Walt Disney retained ownership of the Disneyland trains in the early years. In the photos above you can see the same type of sign on Holiday Red's gondola cars and caboose as it takes Disneyland guests on a grand circle tour around Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom. Now this spectacular original Disneyland sign can remind YOU of the great adventures you've had at the Happiest Place on Earth. This large steel sign measures 32" x 32". A smaller 18" x 18" version of this this
sign sold for over $7,600.00 including buyer's premium at the Van
Eaton auction in December 2016. This much larger sign weighs
almost 17 pounds! You can see
both sizes in one of the above photos. This sign is
constructed of sturdy steel and will be the centerpiece of any train
room, play room, or Disney collection! Sign has one original screw hole in each corner;
shows
minor handling and scratches from use at Disneyland; some black
paint missing on a "D" and one of the round dots; otherwise very
fine condition. Includes
the Phil Sears Collectibles Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity.

From the
collection of Disney Legend Tony Baxter! Disney park
collectors know the most desirable and sought after items are things
that are actual pieces of the Disney parks. This leaf is an
authentic prop from the original Swiss Family Treehouse a Disneyland
attraction from
1962 to 1999. Disneyland's Swiss Family
Treehouse was based on
the 1960 Disney film "Swiss Family Robinson." The treehouse
was designed to look like the
home of the Robinson family in the movie, complete with rope
bridges, wooden platforms, and a waterfall. Visitors could
climb up the treehouse and explore the
various rooms, including a living room, kitchen, and bedrooms.
It was closed in 1999 and transformed into Tarzan's Treehouse under
the creative direction of Imagineer Tony Baxter. No detail was
ignored; even the South Pacific type leaves of the tree were removed
and replaced with leaves appropriate to Tarzan's African Jungle
home. Disneyland legend Baxter kept a branch of Swiss Family
tree leaves from which we made this commemorative display. In
a shadow box measuring 11.25" x 9.5" x 2.5".
Includes the Phil Sears Collectibles Lifetime
Guarantee of Authenticity and a photo
of Tony Baxter holding the leaves and one of the displays. We
have several, so each varies slightly. One leaf is included in
each display. Item # 7792,

Large Section of Walt Disney's Carolwood Pacific Railroad Track |
![]() |
Click image
for a larger view This is a substantial segment of original track from the trestle of Walt Disney's personal backyard railroad. 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. Measuring 24" long, this impressive section of Walt's track with ties and spikes has been mounted against a bed of gravel inside an approximately 36" x 24" and 5" deep shadowbox case. An engraved plaque states it is one of only 10 of these large sections from the Carolwood Pacific salvaged for display. Also framed with a diagram of the Carolwood Pacific track layout and photograph of Walt Disney with his locomotive. Includes the Phil Sears Collectibles Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity Certificate. A very special display piece-- in fact, museum piece-- for any Disney or train enthusiast. Display weighs 46 pounds. We have only this one available. This item available for local Southern California pickup only as noted below.

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.
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 gar age 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. Worldwide shipping only $3.99 on this item no matter how many you buy! Item # 6000, $29.95
