Description: [the book is flawless but for a very tiny blemish of unknown origin on the half-title page; the jacket shows just the faintest traces of surface handling wear]. (color and B&W photographs, facsimiles) The lavishly-illustrated story of Walt Disney's lifelong love of trains and railroading, a "fascination with highly detailed miniatures and mechanical animation that inspired his revolutionary concept in family entertainment based on Disney characters and stories" (i.e., Disneyland). And speaking of lifelong obsessions: the author was introduced to the world of Walt Disney (and specifically his backyard railroad) through his father, Roger Broggie, one of the first of Walt's "Imagineers," who helped to design the Magic Kingdom. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, pease contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
