this page features disney themed trains and accessories. monorails were also released, and any i acquire will be on another page.
winnie the pooh
this set was won on ebay for $24.50AUD, thanks to my friend jarrod who bid on my behalf. it also turned out to be my treat to myself for losing 9.1kg over 8 weeks at the gym. nice timing, though unintentional, lol. all up, with postage and some money for jarrod, it cost me roughly $100NZD. lots of money, but cheaper than buying off ebay.uk.
disneyland western steam engines
this section shows engines based on the western steam engines used at the disney parks. i only have one so far, hope to add to others gradually
plarail disney dream railway
this series was released in 2013. there were 4 originally, but the series quickly expanded, and became a little more extreme in their designs.
magical express comparisons
almost the same, but not quite. there are several differences between the two mickey bullet trains
disney pixar dream railway
this range was released 2014/15, starting with buzz, aliens and a long woody train. as expected, the quality is amazing. these will be mostly set up on my HO toy story layout, using girders to elevate them and add to the fun.
nemo and dory trains were also released to coincide with the finding dory movie, as such they feature characters like hank and bailey. dorys container truck appears to show silhouettes of the tank gang from finding nemo.

disney dream railway electrical bridge
the electrical bridge comes with a bridge that plays songs, sounds and lights up with colors that fade in and out with the beat.
it comes with the blue mickey express bullet train, identical to the red except for the color. the set also features A and B risers in pure white.

plarail disney dream railway 3d map
this carry set is my first like this, despite there being others for the thomas range in previous years. it is quite large and has velcro spots to hold it closed when not in use. it comes with two yellow slopes that have non-standard connectors.
the set also came with stickers to place on the bridges, under the mickey and donald rock formation and around the tunnels. im not going to use them as i can see them peeling over time and looking really horrible. the tunnel surrouds have a cloud background and that looks fine.
the back of the box shows how to incorporate the electrical bridge and colorful railway sets previously released.
the amount of characters shown is incredible... monsters inc, finding nemo, scooge mcduck, morty and ferdy [mickeys nephews!!] clarabel cow, pete and even the blot [!!!!!] appears to be shown. this gives me hope for trains based on both the classic characters and more recent ones.

disney dream toontown station set
a nice, simple but well designed set with the ever essential station and tunnel. the loco is the same physical design as the previous mickey engines, but the colors are different. the truck contains balloons, with some in the shape of mickey mouse. it appears they have two different types, as the one on the box has different colors to the one i received.
it comes with a thin card printed with toontown scenes which is designed to sit under the yellow stop track.
also included was a sheet of stickers for the station and tunnel mouths. i wasnt going to put them in, but they enhance the pieces so well.

disney dream mickey and friends adventure mountain
it took me several years to locate this set after missing the hobbysearch pre-order. any i found on jauce were far too expensive. a fellow collector alerted me to this one on a site i wouldnt normally go near. i took the plunge, and this arrived in less than a week.
being a big goofy fan, this was one i wanted the most, and i love the design. it has umbrella shaped driving rods, mickey and goofy in the cab and loads of colors in the track.
the mountain face opens when the engine hits the trigger point. it slides across, revealing a crystal disney castle, magical lights and music. a truly wonderful set that i cannot wait to display for the public.
