He and his older brother Roy would often wait for the trains that roared through their home- town of Marceline. Often, their uncle, Mike Martin, would be at the throttle of the mighty steam engine and would wave to the boys as he passed. During visits to the family farm, Mike would entertain the boys with exciting stories of life on the rails, and legendary figures such as Casey Jones and Buffalo Bill. Many years later, Walt rekindled his love of trains. In the 1940's, he frequently visited the backyard railroads of two of his key animators, Ward Kimball and Ollie Johnston. He decided to construct a home with enough land to allow him to build his own backyard railroad. It was located in the Holmby Hills area of Los Angeles on Carolwood Drive, and he called his railroad the Carolwood Pacific. He decided that the size of his steam engine would be one-eighth of a full-scale locomotive. He based his engine on the famous Central Pacific 173, which was the first steam engine built in California. Walt, Roger Broggie and the machinists at the Disney Studios machine shop built the large-scale miniature.
