Disney animator Ward Kimball built the Grizzly Flats, "America's first full-size, backyard railroad," in California. In the 1950´s, Ward and his wife Betty acquired two 0-4-2 Baldwin locomotives from a Hawaiian sugar plantation. One of those locos, the Pokaa, was rebuilt and renamed the Chloe, after the Kimball's´ youngest daughter. The LGB replica is just as eye-catching as the Kimball´s original. A low-profile drive mechanism preserves the real-life gap between the boiler and chassis.

The Prototype: As one of Walt Disney’s original animators, Ward Kimball created famous Disney characters like Jiminy Cricket in “Pinocchio.” Ward and his wife Betty also created their own narrow gauge railway, the Grizzly Flats, "America's first full-size, backyard railroad."In the 1950’s, the Kimballs acquired two 0-4-2 Baldwin locomotives from a Hawaiian sugar plantation. One of those locos, the Pokaa, was rebuilt and renamed the Chloe, after the Kimballs’ youngest daughter. Today, the Kimballs still operate Chloe on the Grizzly Flats, while other parts of the Kimball collection can be seen at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, California.
