WDW Railroad Disigns?

[Wiloughby1]

Does anyone have any? I really need an autograph book cover for DS, but I'm interested in anything out there.

Here's the catch, though he's only 4, DS is a bit obsessive about authenticity. He knows which steam engines run there and which don't. Down to the brand. He even knows the manufacture of the G-Scale models.

Imagine Sheldon Cooper as a kid. That's my Noah. (we're hoping he uses his powers for good and not evil.)

Any "train people" out there who can connect my little engineer with Walt's personal hobby?

Thanks in advance!

As I wouldn't know what RailRoad engines are authentic why not go to google, find some authentic engines (or have your son do it) post the pictures here and we will do the DISign for the cover?

Thanks- I'll start looking and get his approval. When searching here, I found some really old Disigns and it seems like the disigners are long gone. He's out with grandpa for the day, so I'll have him help me look this evening.

DH told me that this is where they spend the most time looking at pictures and railroad facts.

It's apparently a WDW Railroad site. The link I included has a variety of pictures of the four trains at WDW. Of the four listed, the Walter E. Disney and the Roy O. Disney would be his favorites.

Anything any of you have in mind would be appreciated. I'm eager to see what you come up with. I know there is new WDW train merchandise out this year, and we are sure to scoop that up in anything kid-sized.

Things I'd like for Noah include an autograph book cover (more than anything else, maybe with cards for the conductor and engineer to sign), an invitation to ride the rails at the Magic Kingdom with some tickets with the steam engine on it, a coupon for a train souvenir, or anything else you may be inspired to try. I might try my hand at putting together some of the graphics to make a grand welcome. Something along the lines of "Walt Disney has been waiting for another Train Enthusiast Like You."

In case you haven't guessed, my son has a few spectrum tendencies. We spend a lot of time learning things we never knew to help see things from his perspective. Your work will thrill him, for sure.

Thanks in advance for all your help and ideas!

the Meet the DISigners sticky lists most of the current DISigners and indicates who is no longer DISigning....not 100% up to date but if someone is long gone they will definitely show up in the appropriate section.

well this is an authentic WDW train...

That's Engine #1 the Walter E. Disney, 4-6-0 Baldwin, he says! Already excited. It's perfect. He picked this smiley himself

Could you add his name? (Noah)

Anything else that comes along will be a surprise. i just had to get the train approved.

Many many thanks!
